Embryonic chick neural tubes containing neural crest cells were cultured in vitro on tissue culture plastic and collagen. Two parameters, the time of onset of cell migration from the neural tube and the rate of movement of the cell front away from the neural tube explant, were determined. On collagen, cell migration consistently began after 4-6 h in vitro, about 5 h prior to the onset of cell migration on tissue culture plastic. The identity of the migrating cells as neural crest cells was established by their eventual differentiation into melanocytes. Ablation experiments revealed that collagen also caused the early onset of migration of cells not of neural crest origin. Extracellular materials may alter cell migratory behavior in morphogenesis.
