Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The effect of actinomycin D on chick embryos cultivated in vitro by New's culturing method was studied. Exposure of chick embryos to actinomycin D (0.05 micrograms/ml) at the primitive streak stage (stage 4; Hamburger and Hamilton) for 6 h showed interference in orotic acid formation. The assay of the enzyme dihydroorotic acid dehydrogenase was carried out in both treated and control embryos. No enzymic activity was observed in actinomycin-D-treated embryos in contrast to the considerable activity in the controls. These observations suggest an interference by actinomycin D in the biogenesis of the enzyme dihydroorotic acid dehydrogenase.
