[Further research on the differentiation in vitro of chick-embryo skin in the presence of histones].

In the present study the authors have carried out further researches on the differentiation of six day limb skin from chick embryo cultured "in vitro" in a complete medium supplemented with histones. When histones were added to the medium in the first two days "in vitro", epidermal keratinization was not observed. However the addition of histones after four days "in vitro" did not interfere with epidermal differentiation.
