Summary

  1. 1.

    Cell and tissue cultures have been obtained from embryonic rat thymus by dissociation with trypsin and explantation of fragments of the organ. In these cultures mono- and multinuclear myoid elements appeared among which the multinuclear ones showed cross-striation and performed spontaneous contractions. Cross-striated elements have been found also in the thymus of 5-day-old guinea pigs with the aid of the electron microscope.

  2. 2.

    Possibly the multinuclear myoid elements observed resulted from fusion of mononuclear cells.

Zusammenfassung

  1. 1.

    Vom Thymus embryonaler Ratten wurden durch Trypsin-Dissoziation und Aussetzen von Mutterstücken Zell- bzw. Gewebekulturen gewonnen. In den Kulturen erschienen ein- und vielkernige myoide Elemente, deren vielkernige eine Querstreifung zeigten und spontane Kontraktionen ausführten. In elektronenmikroskopischen Untersuchungen des Thymus von 5 Tage alten Meerschweinchen wurden quergestreifte Elemente gleichfalls nachgewiesen.

  2. 2.

    Es fragt sich, ob die vielkernigen Gebilde durch Verschmelzung einkerniger Zellen entstehen können.
