The effect of the chelators on 59Fe mobilization from prelabeled SK-N-MC neuroepithelioma cells.
Cells were labeled with 59Fe-Tf (0.75 μM) for 3 hours at 37°C, washed, and then (A) reincubated for 3 hours at 37°C in the presence of medium alone (control) or medium containing DFO (25 μM) or the other chelators (25 μM); or (B) reincubated for 3, 6, 12, and 24 hours. Results are expressed as the mean ± SD of 3 replicates in a typical experiment of 2 experiments performed.
