Abstract
Transferrin has a bacteriostatic effect on Clostridium welchii type A provided it is stabilized by the presence of serum albumin. However, the bacteriostatic properties of whole serum cannot be attributed entirely to transferrin since it has been found that a mixture of transferrin and β2- or γ-globulin is required to imitate exactly the behaviour of whole serum.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
