Chick primordial germ cells (PGC), after separation from the endoderm in early embryonic development, temporarily circulate via the blood-vascular system and eventually migrate to the gonadal anlagen. Direct evidence that circulating PGC leave the blood vessels is lacking. To describe the ultrastructural features of PGC as they emerge from the blood vessels, PGC leaving the blood vessels were first examined with semi-thin sections stained with toluidine blue. Then some of the sections were re-embedded in Epon 812 and sectioned for EM. PGC were observed emerging from the capillaries in the region posterior to the omphalomesenteric arteries of the embryo, between the splanchnic mesoderm and open-gut endoderm, at stages 15-18 (.apprx. 2.5 days of incubation). Ultrastructurally, PGC exhibited the protruding, bulge-like cytoplasmic processes through the endothelial gaps in the capillary walls. Prior to emerging, intravascular PGC seemed to stick to the endothelium of the blood vessels. Results offer ultrastructural evidence that the circulating PGC exit the blood vessels prior to migrating to the gonadal anlagen.
