Bleomycin in the presence of Fe(II) degrades [calf thymus] DNA to form a thiobarbituric acid-reactive product. This has been made the basis of a specific assay method for free Fe in biological fluids. Human synovial fluid, human CSF and rat pleural-exudate fluid contained micromolar concentrations of free Fe, which would be sufficient to allow formation of the hydroxyl radical from superoxide and H2O2 generated in vivo. This assay method does not detect Fe bound to transport proteins or to enzymes.
