This paper deals with avian anemia's classified by MCHC/MCV and with types of anemia's. Father hematological and immunological research is needed to secure information on hematological parameters in different avian species at their earliest age. Anemia is a common clinical finding in birds because the avian erythrocyte half - life is much shorter than the mammalian. Therefore anemia should be determined as soon as possible. Researchers should standardize hematological parameters for every single avian species.

We have identified a novel Ca(2+)-regulated protein, p23, that is expressed specifically in avian erythrocyte and thrombocyte lineages. Sequence analysis of this 23 kDa protein reveals that it bears no homology to any known sequence. In mature definitive erythrocytes p23 exists in equilibrium between a soluble and a cytoskeletal bound pool. The cytoskeletal fraction is associated with the marginal band of microtubules, centrosomes and nuclear membrane under conditions of low free [Ca2+]. An increase in free [Ca2+] to 10(−6) M is sufficient to induce dissociation of > 95% of bound p23 from its target cytoskeletal binding sites, yet this [Ca2+] has little effect on calmodulin-mediated MB depolymerization. Analysis of p23 expression and localization during erythropoiesis together with results from heterologous p23 expression in tissue cultured cells demonstrated that this protein does not behave as a bone fide microtubule-associated protein. In addition, the developmental analysis revealed that although p23 is expressed early in definitive erythropoeisis, its association with the MB, centrosome and nuclear membrane occurs only in the final stages of differentiation. This cytoskeletal association correlates with marked p23 stabilization and accumulation at a time p23 expression is being markedly downregulated. We hypothesize that the mechanism of p23 association to the MB and centrosomes may be induced in part by a decrease in intracellular [Ca2+] during the terminal stages of definitive erythropoiesis.

We have previously demonstrated that brain spectrin binds to the low-molecular-mass subunit of neurofilaments (NF-L) [Frappier, Regnouf & Pradel (1987) Eur. J. Biochem. 169, 651-657]. In the present study, we seek to locate their respective binding domains. In the first part we demonstrate that brain spectrin binds to a 20 kDa domain of NF-L. This domain is part of the rod domain of neurofilaments and plays a role in the polymerization process. However, the polymerization state does not seem to have any influence on the interaction. In the second part, we provide evidence that NF-L binds to the beta-subunit of not only brain spectrin but also human and avian erythrocyte spectrins. The microtubule-associated protein, MAP2, which has also been shown to bind to microfilaments and neurofilaments, binds to the same domain of NF-L as spectrin does. Finally, among the tryptic peptides of brain spectrin, we show that some peptides of low molecular mass (35, 25, 20 and 18 kDa) co-sediment with either NF-L or F-actin.
