| serum transferrin | <protein> A protein that carries iron in the bloodstream. The percentage of transferrin that has iron bound to it is increased in situations of iron overdose and in the disease haemochromatosis. Serum transferrin is decreased in cases of protein deficiency. (27 Sep 1997) |

| hyperimmune serum | Serum prepared from animals that have recently received repeated injections or applications of a chosen antigen, thus the serum should contain a very high concentration of polyclonal antibodies against that antigen. (18 Nov 1997) |
| specific serum | A monovalent antiserum, i.e., one obtained by inoculating an animal with one antigen or species or strain of bacteria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nonimmune serum | <immunology> A serum from a subject that is not immune; a serum that is free of antibodies to a given antigen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| normal horse serum | The sterile and filtered serum of a healthy, unvaccinated horse. (05 Mar 2000) |
| normal human serum | Sterile serum obtained by pooling approximately equal amounts of the liquid portion of coagulated whole blood from eight or more persons who are free from any disease transmissible by transfusion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| normal human serum albumin | A sterile preparation of serum albumin obtained by fractionating blood plasma proteins from healthy persons; used as a transfusion material and to treat oedema due to hypoproteinaemia. Synonym: dried human albumin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| normal serum | A nonimmune serum, usually with reference to a serum obtained prior to immunization. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dried human serum | Serum prepared by drying liquid human serum by freeze-drying or by any other method that will avoid denaturation of the proteins and will yield a product readily soluble in a quantity of water equal to the volume of liquid human serum from which it was prepared.
