Chronological changes in the sucrase antigen‐inducing activity and development of the regional identity in the intestinal mesoderm of the chick embryo

Developmental changes in mesodermal activity to induce intestine‐like differentiation expressing sucrase antigen in the endoderm and changes in endodermal reactivity to such an activity in the digestive tract of the chick embryo were analyzed. Digestive‐tract endoderms of embryos at 3 days of incubation were highly responsive to the inductive effect of the 5 day duodenal mesenchyme, with the stomach endoderm lying nearest to the intestine having the highest reactivity. Endodermal reactivity decreased with increasing age. It was almost absent in the endoderm of the esophagus or proventriculus of 6 day embryos and in the endoderm of the gizzard of 7 day embryos. The activity of the mesoderm to induce intestine‐like differentiation in 5 day gizzard endoderm was high in the 5–10 day duodenal mesenchyme, but was rarely found in 14 day duodenal mesenchyme. This activity was specific to intestinal mesenchymes, among which the duodenal mesenchyme had the highest activity in 5 day embryos. The 3 day intestinal mesenchyme may already have the inductive activity. The presumptive intestinal mesoderm of 1.5 day embryos seemed to have a slight or no activity, but it may have intestinal identity and may manifest a high inductive activity later.
