Dissociated myoblasts from 12-day chick embryos were cultured in monolayer, and the differentiation of skeletal muscle cells was studied by electron microscopy. The results have revealed a striking ultrastructural similarity between the in vivo and the in vitro developing muscle, particularly with respect to the myofibrils and sarcoplasmic reticulum. This study demonstrates that all the characteristic organelles of mature skeletal muscle can develop in vitro in the absence of nerves.

The fine structurel distribution of troponin on thin filaments in developing myofibrils was investigated by the use of immunoelectron microscopy. Embryonic chick skeletal muscle cells grown in vitro were treated with antibodies against each of the troponin components (troponin T, I, and C) from adult chicken muscles. Each antibody was distributed along the thin filaments with a period of 38 nm. It is concluded that these newly synthesized regulatory proteins are assembled at their characteristic position from the initial phases of myofibrillogenesis.
