Differentiation of visceral cartilage was studied in EEIS, a hanging-drop culture system containing a piece of head neural fold tissue from behind the prospective ear region of a T. alpestris neurula together with a piece of ventrolateral pharynx endoderm from the same embryo. Cartilage cells differentiated only from those neural crest cells in contact with the pharynx endoderm. Cartilage differentiation did not occur in cultures containing neural fold or pharynx endoderm alone or in distance cultures in which both explants were separated from each other at a greater distance than usual. In some EEIS cultures containing more ventrally excised pharynx endoderm, accumulations of ectomesenchymal cells were observed near the endoderm which were not transformed into cartilage. The differentiation of cartilage was classified into 3 stages: prechondroblasts (days 1-5), chondroblasts (about day 6) and chondrocytes (about day 10). Cellular contact between the 2 inductively correlated tissues was apparently a prerequisite for the transmission mechanism while mitotic cell divisions were evidently mainly responsible for the spread of the inductive message within the responding ectomesenchymal cells.
