摘要：

A method for the selective depletion of transferrin from bovine serum is presented. Bloodstream forms of Trypanosoma brucei cannot grow in medium containing transferrin-deficient serum, whereas reconstitution with transferrin restores normal growth. We conclude that transferrin is an essential growth factor for the mammalian stage of the parasite.
