Abstract
1. Germline chimaeric chickens were produced by the transfer of primor dial germ cells, and the generation of donor-derived offspring was exa mined for a maximum of 146 weeks. 2. The frequencies of donor-derived offspring from the chimaeras were 47% to 97%, and no apparent changes in frequency were observed with increasing age during the test period. 3. Differentiation of donor primordial germ cells into functional gam etes appeared to be restricted to a degree at some developmental stage in the gonads of chimaeric chickens of the opposite sex.
