Subject:
Columba livia; Coturnix japonica; chickens; erythrocytes; laboratory animals; rats
Abstract:
... The osmotic fragility of erythrocytes in 3 species of birds (Gallus gallus domesticus, Coturnix coturnix Japonica, Columba livia) and the rat was determined. The results of this study point to a smaller osmotic fragility. Birds, with elliptical erythrocytes, have a lower osmotic fragility than species with round erythrocytes, like most of the mammals. ...

We tested chicken microsatellite markers to see if ...

Using immunostaining with antibodies against cohesin subunits, we show here that cohesin-enriched structures analogous to the so-called centromere protein bodies (PB) are the characteristic of galliform lampbrush chromosomes. Their centromeric location was verified by FISH with certain DNA probes. PB-like structures were used as markers for centromere localization in chicken lampbrush chromosomes. ...

After five serial passages of lung homogenate a virus arose that replicated and transmitted directly to contact cage mates. To te ...
