Abstract
Evidence for the occurrence of the transit pool has been obtained for reticuloendothelial cells, red cells precursors, cultured Chang cells and liver. It is suggested that the transit pool consists of a low molecular weight complex and that this is a major source of the iron chelated by agents such as desferrioxamine. No more precise characterization has been possible up to the present time.
