The cranial neural crest (CNC) explant assay was originally designed to assess the basic requirements for CNC migration in vitro. This protocol describes the key parameters of CNC explants in Xenopus laevis, with a focus on how to extirpate CNC cells and assay their migration in vitro. The protocol can be adapted according to the needs of the experimenter, some examples of which are discussed here.
