Abstract

[3H]BrdUrd-substituted DNA probes were prepared from organ cultures of differentiating chicken neural retina and cell cultures of stage 24 chicken limb buds. Reassociation reactions using the neural retina probe demonstrated amplification of DNA sequences during differentiation of neural retina. This probe also contained sequences present in greater numbers in heart DNA than in DNA from undifferentiated neural retina. Reassociation reactions of both differentiated cartilage and differentiated neural retina DNA with both the neural retina probe and the cartilage probe demonstrated that at least part of the amplified sequences are tissue specific.
