The formation of mesectodermal cells by the neural crest in 5- to 41-somite stage embryos was investigated experimentally in rat embryos cultured in vitro, using lectincoated colloidal gold as a probe. This method labelled all ectodermal cells, among them neural crest, surface ectodermal placodal and epiblastic (primitive streak) cells. The neural crest provides the mesodermal compartment of the entire head region with cells, including the primitive cranial ganglia and the branchial arches. In the head region migration of neural crest cells over a great distance (long-distance migration) was not observed. In the trunk region neural crest derived cells were mainly found to form the primitive spinal ganglia and the sympathetic trunk, once again without long-distance cell migration. Structures and tissues that supposedly were derived from the primitive streak were hardly labelled with colloidal gold. Surface ectodermal placodes were not only found at the expected sites (e.g. epibranchial placodes) but also in the ectoderm covering the transverse septum and lateral abdominal walls. |
