Abstract
A comparative study was carried out between the stage of embryonic development of epidermis and its content of growth-inhibitory activity (G1 chalone). Injections of aqueous extracts from keratinized fetal rat or chick embryo epidermis led to a depression of DNA-synthesis in adult mouse epidermis, whereas extracts from undifferentiated epidermis did not contain such an activity.
