Shinobu Otsuka, 1 Hiroshi Maruyama, and Irving Listowsky* abstract: The two subunit types of human liver ferritin were purified to homogeneity. Both subunits reassembled in a well-defined manner and formed spherical particles that re-sembled natural apoferritin in electron micrographs. Affinity chromatography methods were employed to obtain preparations of antibodies that interacted exclusively either with the H or with the L polypeptides, demonstrating that distinct immunological properties may be ascribed to each subunit of ferritin. The amino acid compositions of the subunits were similar, but the larger H subunit had fewer leucine, phenyl-alanine, and arginine residues. It is therefore improbable that H subunits undergo proteolytic processing and are precursors for L subunits. Circular dichroism data indicated that hom-
