Table 1.
Quantification of bone deposition as represented by osteoid staining and bone resorption as indicated by TRAP staining in the mandibles of duck (n=4), quail (n=4), and the quail donor side versus duck host side of chimeric quck (n=2). Values shown are the mean volumes for each group with their standard deviations.
