Abstract

The binding capacity of human albumin for bilirubin was studied using fibroblasts in tissue culture. Bilirubin alone in the growth media regularly killed the cells at concentrations above 35–52 μmol/1. The presence of albumin in the medium could prevent the toxic effects of bilirubin. It was shown that one molecule of albumin would completely detoxify only one molecule of bilirubin.
