The time course of appearance and distribution of fibronectin in the developing eye were studied in chick embryos by indirect immunofluorescence. At the 12-somite stage, fibronectin was present as a layer under the ectodermal cells overlying the forebrain vesicle and in the head mesenchyme. During formation of the lens placode and its invagination, a zone containing fibronectin persisted around the lens as a component of the capsule. The fibronectin-containing layer was separated from the corneal epithelial cells during the formation of the acellular stroma. The migrating corneal endothelial cells were posterior to the fibronectin layer. The secondary stroma was strongly positive for fibronectin. Fibronectin disappeared form the cornea starting from its posterior part along with the corneal condensation. In the newborn chicken cornea, fibronectin was present only in Descemet''s membrane. The embryonic vitreous body had a network of fibronectin-containing material. The distribution of fibronectin in the developing cornea and other data available on this glycoprotein indicate the role of fibronectin in positioning and migration of cells and in organization of the extracellular matrix.
