Figure 5

In vitro proliferation of satellite cell-derived muscle precursors. Purified satellite cells were prepared by mechanically stripping isolated, intact muscle fibres. Clones were then assessed by plating at 0.5 cells/well in 96 well plates, and culturing for 7 days. Representative images of clones derived from 22 month old C5/B/l6 (A,B) and DBA/2 (C,D) mice. Quantification of cell numbers/clone in C57Bl/6 (C) and DBA/2 (F) mice. n = 23–170 clones per time point/strain/diet; for each, 3–4 mice from each sex were used. Data are presented as mean +/− SEM. #Represents significance between 22 month old mice, and their 12 month counterparts (of same sex, strain and diet).
