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.
