In vitro tissue and organ induction using animal caps. The animal cap, which forms the blastocoelic roof of the amphibian blastula, is excised and cultured in saline containing inducers such as activin and retinoic acid (RA). Differentiated explants are examined by histological and immunohistological techniques, and analyzed for expression of molecular markers.
