ABSTRACT
Technical details are given of a method of transplanting embryonic nuclei in X. laevis.
This technique is based on Briggs & King’s method for R. pipiens. Owing to certain differences between the eggs of Rana and Xenopus, their technique has been modified for Xenopus.
The main modification for Xenopus concerns the use of ultra-violet irradiation instead of enucleation by a needle.
Differences between transplantation techniques for Rana and Xenopus are unlikely to account for the differences in experimental results obtained with these species.
