The possible involvement of myosin in elevation of neural folds in the chick was studied. Indirect immunofluorescence revealed the presence of myosin in the neuroepithelium as early as the neural-plate stage and was concentrated in the apical regions of neuroepithelial cells where microfilaments are
## Abstract The organization and properties of microfilaments of developing chick neuroepithelial cells were investigated in an attempt to elucidate the structural basis for the observed changes in cell shape during uplifting of neural folds. Microfilaments in the apical regions of cells are more o
Experiments were conducted to elucidate the factor that influences the concentration of circulating primordial germ cells (cPGCs) in two-day old chick embryos. The concentration of cPGCs was observed to be highest at stage 14 (66.9 ยฑ 23.2 ยตl) and decreased thereafter. However, considerable egg to eg
