Abstract

In the circulating blood of anemic ducks, 5% of all erythroid cells synthesize DNA. Immature erythroblasts, at all stages of differentiation, synthesize DNA although to a varying degree, while reticulocytes and erythrocytes do not. In the erythroid cell population labeled in vitro 2 h with 32Pi, half of the labeled DNA sediments as small-molecular-weight molecules, suggesting that these molecules fail to integrate into the high-molecular-weight components. Labeled DNA is found in the cytoplasmic postmitochondrial fractions and it is in a form of deoxyribonucleoproteins which cosediment with ribosomes as well as subribosomal particles in sucrose gradients. However, fixation with HCHO and centrifugation to equilibrium in CsCl gradient of these particles shows that the deoxyribonucleoprotein bands at the density different than the ribosomes and, thus, not physically linked to them. In EDTA-dissociated ribosomes, the deoxyribonucleoprotein particles cosediment with ribosomes as well as subribosomal particles in sucorse gradients. However, fixation with HCHO and centrifugation to equilibrium in CsCl gradient of these particles shows that the deoxyribonucleoprotein bands at the density different than the ribosomes and, thus, not phys...Continue Reading

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.
