title: [Compatibility of chick embryo eye anlagen with the ectoderm of the early amphibian gastrula in vitro].
abstract: Eye vesicles were isolated from the early chick embryos (stage 9+ after Hamburger and Hamilton, 1951) and combined with the Rana temporaria early gastrula ectoderm (EGE) in vitro. The tissues were jointly incubated in medium 199 diluted twice with deionized water at 22 +/- 1 degree for 7-8 days or the eye vesicles were removed from the EGE ectoderm within 16-18 h. At the joint long-term incubation of these tissues, a toxic effect of the chick embryonic tissues on the EGE cells was noted. In none of the experiments, the inducing effect of the eye vesicle on the EGE was found. Similar data were obtained when the EGE was jointly cultivated with the brain (stage 9-10) and retina (stage 15) of chick embryos. The brain of the chick embryos at stage 15 exerted a weak neuralizing effect on the EGE. In the control experiments, the eye vesicles explanted with the chick embryonic ectoderm remained viable till the end of cultivation but no lentoids formed in the ectoderm. The absence of lens-inducing effect at the joint cultivation of the chick embryonic eye vesicles with the EGE is considered as a result of disturbance of the synthesis or secretion of the corresponding agents rather than a sequence of the species "incompatibility" of the inductor and reacting tissue. Hence, the use of "xenogenic" tissue recombinants is not justified when analyzing the lens-inducing activity of the eye vesicles.
