ABSTRACT

Culture of Embryonic Chick Lung Rudiment

In vitro culture of organ primordia is a useful tool in understanding the development of

different organs (such as the lung). This is fundamental in developing new approaches to the

study and treatment of certain diseases (in both animals and humans). Primordial lung tissue of

the 6 day-old chick embryos were successfully cultured, and allowed to develop into

rudimentary lung organs. However, not all primordial lung tissue developed equally. In the best

case, tissue development progressed in vitro similarly to embryonic lung development in vivo.

Distinct development of bronchial tubes and primary air sacs were observed during one week in

culture. In other instances specific tissue development never seemed to commence. Some

tissues even exhibited isolated areas of inactive development, while the remainder of the

primordial lung tissue developed normally.
