Transplantation of the chick early eye primordium into a lensectomized optic cup of a host embryo.
Eye primordia of young chick embryos (stage XII) were transplanted into lensectomized optic cups of older embryos (stage XVII) to analyze the influence of the host retina on the degree of morphological differentiation attained by the donor lens. Embryos were sacrificed 24-96 h later. The donor lens primordium showed a differentiation more in correlation with the host eye cup (stage XXIII) after 24-96 h of incubation.
