Further researches on the action of hepatectomized rat serum on epithelial differentiation in chick embryo skin.
Skin explants obtained from 12-day old chick embryos, maintained in organ culture containing adult rat serum, show a lower epidermal growth in comparison with skin explants cultured with other adult animal serum; nevertheless the keratogeneous differentiation of the epidermal cell is evident. When the cultures are incubated with medium containing partially hepatectomized rat serum epidermal-cell differentiation and proliferation are absent.
