Pineal bodies from 8-day-old quail embryos were dissociated and cultured in order to examine their potency for differentiation under in vitro conditions. Polygonal pigment cells and lentoid bodies started to differentiate after about 2 and 4 weeks, respectively. Lentoid bodies were shown immunologically to contain all classes of crystallins. The results indicate that embryonic pineal cells of avian species retain 'oculopotency' to differentiate into several types of ocular cells.
