Chick or bovine transferrin induces proliferation of chick embryo cells cultured in the presence of horse serum, which cannot itself assure their multiplication. Cell growth can also be induced by iron salts and iron complexes such as hemoglobin or hemin, but also by biliverdin which has no iron atom in its molecule.
鸡或牛转铁蛋白可诱导在马血清存在下培养的鸡胚细胞增殖，而马血清本身并不能保证这些细胞的增殖。铁盐和铁复合物（如血红蛋白或血红素）也可诱导细胞生长，分子中不含铁原子的胆绿素也能诱导细胞生长。
