The origin of the glomerular endothelium is unsettled; it may be derived from the metanephric mesenchyme, like the other parts of the nephron. Since recent observations did not support this concept, development of the vasculature of the kidney and of the glomerular endothelium was studied using both mouse/quail and quail/chick interspecies grafts. Undifferentiated 11-day mouse kidney anlagen were transplanted onto quail chorioallantoic membrane and allowed to develop for 7-10 days. Upon examination, grafts were well-vascularized, and both the glomerular and the vessel endothelium expressed the quail nuclear marker. Similar results were obtained in quail/chick transplantation experiments. Apparently the endothelium of the glomeruli is derived from outside vasculature rather than by conversion of cells in the nephrogenic mesenchyme.
