1. To improve the production of chimeras, the distribution of donor blastodermal cells after transferring into recipient embryos was examined morphologically. 2. Donor blastodermal cells were distributed near the site of injection in the epiblast and in the subgerminal cavity and yolk. Some filled the hole made by the micropipette and were distributed outside the epiblast. Many were buried in yolk. In some cases, more donor blastodermal cells were located in the yolk than in the subgerminal cavity and some were located 800 microm below the under-surface of the epiblast. 3. It is recommended that injection should be as shallow as possible to increase the proportion of chimeras produced, and that some means is needed to prevent blastodermal cells from escaping from the hole produced by injection.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D001756 Blastoderm A layer of cells lining the fluid-filled cavity (blastocele) of a BLASTULA, usually developed from a fertilized insect, reptilian, or avian egg. Blastoderms
D002642 Chick Embryo The developmental entity of a fertilized chicken egg (ZYGOTE). The developmental process begins about 24 h before the egg is laid at the BLASTODISC, a small whitish spot on the surface of the EGG YOLK. After 21 days of incubation, the embryo is fully developed before hatching. Embryo, Chick,Chick Embryos,Embryos, Chick
D002678 Chimera An individual that contains cell populations derived from different zygotes. Hybrids,Chimeras,Hybrid
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
