Figure 2From: A simplified but robust method for the isolation of avian and mammalian muscle satellite cellsTerminally differentiated primary muscle cultures from different animal species immunolabeled for the muscle-specific intermediate filament desmin. Duck muscle (pectoralis major ) cells were cultured for 4 days (a), chicken muscle (pectoralis major ) cells for 6 days (b), equine muscle (biceps femoris ) cells for 4 days (c), bovine muscle (psoas major ) cells for 3 days (d), porcine muscle (psoas major ) cells for 4 days (e). No primary antibody control duck muscle cells (f) was counterstained with Harris’ Haematoxylin. Note: days of culture are counted from seeding day 0.Back to article page
