The presence of basement-membrane components during tissue separation procedures was determined employing monoclonal antibodies to laminin and type IV collagen. In addition, the reconstitution of basement-membrane components and the formation of the basement-membrane were examined in isolated epithelium and mesenchyme and in tissue recombination. Epithelium and mesenchyme of maxillary processes of chick embryos were separated by a variety of protocols, including those employed in a prior study (Saber et al: Anat. Rec. 225: 56-66, 1989). Results indicated that the protocol previously employed did not remove basement-membrane components after enzymatic tissue separation. A revised protocol in which the basement-membrane components (ie, laminin and type IV collagen) were removed from isolated tissues prior to recombination revealed that a developmental compartment and a gradient of cell viability, comparable in size and dimensions to that observed in the study of Saber et al.(ibid.) was present in the mesenchyme of recombined explants. Type IV collagen and laminin, therefore, do not appear to be required initially during tissue recombination in order for subsequent growth-sustaining effects to be expressed. Additional studies revealed, however, that synthesis of basement-membrane components occurred not only in isolated tissues but was altered markedly by tissue recombination. Culture of isolated tissues demonstrated induction of laminin synthesis in separated epithelium by 24 hours and induction of collagen synthesis in isolated mesenchyme by 24 hours. Recombination of epithelium and mesenchyme, however, resulted in rapid induction of laminin synthesis within 1 hour. Recombination of epithelium and mesenchyme after 24 hours resulted in the presence of laminin not only in epithelium but in mesenchyme as well. Both tissues were required for basementmembrane formation which appeared to be fully reconstituted by 24 hours in culture. These observations indicate that recombination in culture alters the pattern of synthetic activity of these basement-membrane components. These can be characterized as “early”(temporal) and “late”(spatial) responses by the recombined tissues.In a recent study (Saber et al., 19891, separation and recombination experiments were performed employing a variety of tissue configurations in organ culture in order to determine the extent to which the epithelium of the maxillary process influences the viability of mesenchyme during the development of the facial primordia. This study indicated that the viability of facial mesenchyme of early stage embryos was severely impaired when separated from overlying epithelium and grown in organ culture. In addition, it was found that the influence of epithelium on the viability of mesenchyme was stage dependent. The requirement for the presence of epithelium for the maintenance of viability was less pronounced at older developmental ages. It
