Abstract excerpt

Embryonic lens fiber cell differentiation in the chick is marked by the accumulation of delta-crystallin protein. The levels of delta-crystallin RNA are shown here to rise dramatically in the cells of the posterior lens pit prior to their elongation and differentiation as lens fibers. This increa...
