Histological differentiation and organogenesis of rat fetal kidneys after isotransplantation under the kidney capsule of adult rats.
Developing kidneys of 14- and 15-day rat embryos were grafted under the kidney capsule of adult syngeneic rats and examined histologically after 7 and 14 days. Although the grafted fetal kidney developed in a relatively hypopotassemic environment, no cystic dilatations or other anomalies of the renal tubules were found.
