The
transplant adhered, and the eye formation took place. It was
necessary to make sure that the transplant adheres to the
flank of the albino, otherwise the wound will not heal, and
the transplant will dissociate from the embryo. During the
experiment the embryo continued its development up to the
stage 36. Since at the stage 16 the cells in the eye forming
region are already committed to become neural cells, the
transplanted patch was
able to form independently, regardless of its new
position.
