The impacts of contaminants on the structure of the immune system can be assessed by examining white blood cell (WBC) numbers and the mass and cellularity of immune organs, although these indicators are usually not as sensitive as measures of immune function. Avian immunotoxicity studies frequently assess total and (or) differential WBC counts [79], and immunosuppression can be indicated by reduced numbers of WBCs or elevated WBC numbers caused by recurrent infections. An elevated heterophil to lymphocyte ratio can indicate altered immune status in response to corticosteroid stress hormones or other factors [78,7 9], Exposure to lead shot or lead acetate has been shown to alter total and (or) differential WBC numbers in Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix) and mallards [81-83], In western grebes (Aechmophorus occidentalis) from California, concentrations of mercury in the kidney were positively correlated with heterophil...

The 129-residue sequence is that of Ibrahimi et al. (1979). As indicated above, position 103 in domestic hen egg-white lysozyme was originally considered to be Asp, but was subsequently shown to be Asn. Unpublished experiments by E. M. Prager on the mobilities of equivalent peptides indicated that 103 is Asn in California quail and bobwhite quail lysozymes as well as for the domestic hen protein (see also Section VII,B,23 and 24). 

The 129-residue sequence was determined by Prager et al. (1972), and residue 103 is given as Asn on the same basis as that of the corresponding residue in the California quail protein (see above).

The bobwhite quail and the Japanese quail are listed in separate sections of this book. Other kinds of American quail are the California quail, Gambel s quail, Mearn s quail, mountain quail, and scaled quail. These birds live in western and southwestern United States.
