Since the first observations of hypoplastic and aplastic thalidomide deformities in infants (McBride, 1961; Lenz, 1962), the literature on this subject has grown to many hundreds of communications. Experimental investigations in almost all cases have been undertaken to show whether thalidomide and its metabolites have any teratogenic effects in experimental animals. Numerous review papers are available on this subject, e.g. Giroud, Tuchmann-Duplessis & Mercier-Parot (1962), Somers (1963), and Salzgeber & Wolff (1964). Chick embryos did not seem for some time to be suitable for experimental production of typical thalidomide deformities. However, Kemper (1962a, b), Yang, Yang & Liang (1962). Boylen, Home & Johnson (1963) and Leone (1963) have shown that thalidomide can produce a whole range of ectromelian deformities provided that it is introduced into the egg at a particular period of embryonic development.

Considerable interest has been aroused by the report of Gillman, Gilbert, Gillman, & Spence (1948) that the vital dye trypan blue when injected into the pregnant rat brings about the appearance of various abnormalities in the offspring. The mammal embryo is notoriously difficult to attack experimentally, and trypan blue therefore seems to provide a valuable tool which, moreover, might throw light on the mechanisms of the important effects which are known in some cases to be produced on the foetus by pathological states in the mother. Further studies on the effects of injected trypan blue on mammalian embryos have therefore been made by Hamburgh (1952, 1954), Waddington & Carter (1952, 1953), and Murakami and his collaborators (1952, 1954), all of whom worked on the mouse, and by Harm (1954) who studied the rabbit. All these authors agree, on the whole, in the type of results which they have obtained, although there are some minor differences between their reports which will be considered later.

The effect of treatment of chick embryos during the first day of incubation with a number of sugars is described. To some embryos solid sugars were applied in opened eggs; forothers the substances were injected in solution. By both methods, all sugars tested were found to be teratogenic, but no apparent general differences between mono-, di-, and trisaccharides were found. Nor were there any correlations between those which can be metabolised at these stages and their teratogenicity. The range of defects produced is similar to those found when embryos of this age are treated with other substances. In embryos treated with [14C] sucrose, some of the label is retained within the tissues in a bound, insoluble form. Possible implications of this finding are suggested.

We describe a technique for removing and growing chick embryos in culture that utilizes relatively inexpensive materials and requires little space. It can be readily performed in class by university, high school, or junior high students, and teachers of any grade level should be able to set it up for their students. Students will be able to directly observe the chick’s development from 3 days post-fertilization to the point at which it would normally hatch. Observing embryonic development first hand, including the chick embryos’ natural movements, gives students a full appreciation for the complexity and wonder of development. Students can make detailed observations and drawings, and gain understanding of important principles in developmental biology. Finally, we suggest various ways in which this project can be adapted to allow students in advanced classes to design and implement their own projects for investigating teratogenic effects on development using the ex ovo model of chick development.
