title: In vitro incorporation of 1-14C acetate by blood cells of normal ducks and ducks infected with Plasmodium lophurae.
abstract: Several investigations have been made, on a qualitative basis, of in vitro incorporation of 1-14C acetate into the lipids of whole blood from normal ducks and ducks infected with Plasmodium lophurae (1,3,4). It was found generally that the percent labeling in blood cells and plasma was higher for infected ducks than for normal ducks. The present study was concerned with quantitative determination of the incorporation of 1-14 C acetate into the lipids of purified erythrocytes (RBC) and leukocytes (WBC) of normal and infected ducks.
