title: Isoelectrically focused carboxyesterases as a biological marker in chimeras.
abstract: Species-specific multiple forms of carboxyesterases (CE) were determined in zymograms obtained by isoelectric focusing (IEF) using homogenized wing zeugopodal tissues of chick, quail and quail-chick chimeras. The validity of the CE pattern of chimeric tissues was verified by the nuclear marker technique. Analytical IEF of CE was found to be useful for investigation of the origin of tissues in chimeras.
