The Contribution of Embryo Extract to Myogenesis of Avian Striated Muscle In Vitro

Gabriel De La Haba 1, Randi Amundsen 1
PMCID: PMC426647  PMID: 4504326

Abstract

Myogenesis of avian striated muscle in vitro requires the presence of serum and embryo extract. The serum requirement can be satisfied by insulin. Embryo extract contributes at least two factors, one of which promotes the fusion of myoblasts, whereas the other promotes the development of myotubes.

Keywords: myogenesis, striated muscle, embryo extract
