Summary
We have developed a method for the dissociation and purification of myosatellite cells from white epaxial muscle of carp. The dissociated myosatellite cells were identified by their morphology, their ultrastructure, the formation of multinucleated myotubes containing myofibrils and the immunocytochemical demonstration of desmin. Desmin and 5-bromo-2′-deoxyuridine (BrdU) were used to identify terminally differentiated and proliferating myosatellite cells, respectively. The in vitro behavior of myosatellite cells dissociated from carp of 5 cm standard length differed from that described for myosatellite cells of mammals and birds. No substantial proliferation of the myosatellite cells could be observed. Most cells were differentiated (desmin-positive, BrdU-negative) 17 h after plating, regardless of the medium used. This indicates that the investigated white epaxial muscle of carp of 5 cm standard length contains subpopulations of myosatellite cells, arrested at various stages of differentiation.
