From: A simplified but robust method for the isolation of avian and mammalian muscle satellite cells
Muscle cells from avian and equine species fused most extensively practically covering each culture well. A 24-well plate showing desmin positive myotubes (brown colour) in duck (a) and chicken (b) cultures grown for 4 and 6 days respectively. More than 60% of the surface area was covered by terminally differentiated fused myotubes. α-Sarcomeric actin was localised to equine myotubes which almost completely covered the entire culture surface (c, d).
