Overview

MyoCult™ Differentiation Kit (Human) includes MyoCult™ Differentiation Medium and Animal Component-Free (ACF) Cell Attachment Substrate. MyoCult™ Differentiation Medium is a serum-based medium specifically formulated for the in vitro differentiation of human skeletal muscle progenitor cells (myoblasts) into myotubes. MyoCult™ Differentiation Medium is designed for use with the ACF Cell Attachment Substrate, which has been specifically tested for its ability to support optimal adherence and myotube morphology. This medium is suitable for the differentiation of myogenic progenitor cells previously expanded in serum-containing or serum-free media (e.g. using the MyoCult™-SF Expansion Kit #05980).

CollPlant is the manufacturer of the rhCollagen component of the cell attachment substrate.

The Product may be used for research purposes only. Please contact STEMCELL for any clinical or commercial application of the Product.

Data Figures

Figure 1. MyoCult™ Differentiation Medium Induces Robust Differentiation of Myotubes from Human Myoblasts

(A) Myogenic progenitor cells expanded in MyoCult expansion medium expressed MyoD (green) and desmin (red). (B) Robust differentiation of myoblasts (shown in (A)) to multinucleated myotubes expressing myosin heavy chain (MyHC+) was achieved following culture in MyoCult™ Differentiation Medium for as little as 5 days. (C) A fusion index showing approximately 75% of total nuclei were found within myotubes expressing MyHC.
