Abstract: The effect of chelate reagents on Tb3+-transferrin was studied at room temperature and pH7.4. The results show that the binding of Tb3+to apotransferrin is reversible in 0.1 mol/L N-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine-N'-2-ethanesulfonic acid and pH7.4. Ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid, and nitrilotriacetic acid can make Tb3+-transferrin dissociated completely. The species of Tb3+in serum was calculated by using ECCLES program. Tbc-trans-ferrin is 21%, Tb-citrate is 62%, Tb-Asp is 15% when terbium concentration of Tb3+is smaller than 5×10-5mol/L.
