Summary
Spleen fragments obtained from chickens and chick embryos (after 4, 6, 8 and 10 days of incubation) were grafted on membranes of chick embryos. The transplants exerted a definite effect on the growth of the organs in the recipients (specific and nonspecific growth stimulation). Changes occurring in the growth of the embryonic organs in response to transplantation of corresponding tissues depended on the stage of the recipient's and donor's development.
