Abstract
IN the course of attempts, as yet unsuccessful, to produce a non-malignant ascites growth of undifferentiated cells in peritoneal exudate, virgin female mice of two genotypes were injected intraperitoneally with homologous embryonic tissue mince, dissociated in a Waring micro-blendor and capable of passage through a 22-gauge hypodermic needle. Embryos ranged from the 4½-mm. 13-day stage, at which condensations of mesenchyme appear at the location of the future skeletal axes, to 8 mm. in length. Each of ten hosts received an inoculum equivalent to three embryos.
