Table 1. Development of teratoma vs. specific organ growth after transplantation of pig embryonic liver.

Gestational age
Growth E21 E24 E28
Teratoma 10/27 3/8 0/23
Specific organ growth 5/27 5/8 21/23

Embryonic liver precursor tissues obtained at various gestational ages were implanted under the kidney capsule. Tissue growth and development were evaluated 6 weeks after implantation as described in Methods.
