Summary

Sex-specific differences with regard to the intensity of transferrin bands were observed in a noninbred adult mouse population after separation of the serum proteins by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Amongst the female animals, an additional protein fraction was found just above the position of the transferrin bands. By means of a tracer method, using59Fe-labelling, it could be shown that the additional fraction is not a part of the transferrin bands.
