  • Title: A practical quantification method for Heinz bodies in birds applicable to rapid response field scenarios.
    Author: Fallon JA, Hopkins WA, Fox L.
    Journal: Environ Toxicol Chem; 2013 Feb; 32(2):401-5. PubMed ID: 23147692.
    Abstract:
    Oil-induced oxidative injury to red blood cells results in Heinz body hemolytic anemia. Here, we evaluated three Heinz body staining techniques in brown pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis) blood. Using a range of in vitro acetylphenylhydrazine incubations, we validated a field-adapted technique against laboratory wet-mounts and verified the stability of this technique for one month following preparation. Employing this technique during petrochemical spill responses allows for delays between sample collection and analysis.
