Do the Avian Cells Behave Like Mammalian?

Using the fluorescent polarization (P) it is shown that the avian cell membranes change their fluidity in some circumstances like the mammalian cells. The cells from a liver tumor (myelocytoblastoma) were compared to normal leukocytes, macrophages and bone-marrow cells in turkeys. It turned out that...

Description
Summary:Using the fluorescent polarization (P) it is shown that the avian cell membranes change their fluidity in some circumstances like the mammalian cells. The cells from a liver tumor (myelocytoblastoma) were compared to normal leukocytes, macrophages and bone-marrow cells in turkeys. It turned out that the cancer cells really showed increased fluidity. The bone-marrow cells could not adsorb the fluorescent probe and the viscosity remained undistinguished.
