Figure 4. Stage 15 donor before operation - donors were younger than hosts

Figure 5. AC 1 (left) and 2 (right). Grafts seem to be adhering well.

Figure 6. LF - example of one of three grafts

Figure 7. LT - example of one of five grafts

3/3/04 (Day 2)

Figure 8. AC 1 - ragged edge around graft visible

Figure 9. AC 2 - graft nearly healed

Figure 11. LF - has rejected its graft (white area is the wound)

Figure 12. Only remaining graft; graft is dark brown patch in center of white wound

Figure 16. Graft rejected, embryo dead

3/6/04 (Day 5)

Figure 17. Wound on embryo has enlarged, spilling inner contents

Figure 18. Successful graft has differentiated somewhat, host is alive and moving
