Reduction in the Concentration of Phosphatidyl Serine in the Plasma of Birds with Avian Erythroblastosis

Nature volume 215, pages 647–648 (1967)Cite this article

Abstract

PLASMA α-lipoprotein, obtained from birds affected with erythroblastosis, shows a slower than normal mobility in starch gel and paper electrophoresis. The protein moiety had the same electrophoretic mobility when it was derived from lipoproteins isolated by ultracentrifugation from the plasma of either normal or erythroblastotic birds1–3. This suggests that the change is in the lipid moiety. We have now observed a difference between lipid extracts of normal and leukaemic plasma involving a phospholipid with the same chromatographic behaviour on silica gel H as phosphatidyl serine.
