The cells descended from limb skin were followed through the process of limb regeneration to determine what range of differentiations these cells may assume. Triploid hindlimb or forelimb skin was grafted to the denuded thighs of diploid host axolotls that had previously received 3000 R of X irradiation across both hindlimbs and the intervening pelvic area. The host limbs were then amputated through their grafts and permitted to regenerate. Cartilage, perichondrium, joint connective tissue, general connective tissue, dermis and epidermis were present in all the regenerated limbs, but only 10% of the regenerates contained muscle. Tabulation of nucleolar numbers showed that the majority of cells in each regenerated tissue originated from the grafted skin. A strong correlation was demonstrated between the forelimb or hindlimb origin of the skin grafts and the number of digits regenerated.
