Department of Medical Biochemistry, University of Oulu, Finland.

Using a new method of culturing neonatal rat heart muscle cells on collagen coated Sephadex microspheres the culture showed increasing biomass for 72 h, at which time 44% of the cells were myocytes. At 24 h after inoculation 63% of the cells were myocytes, and from 48 h onwards they were beating spontaneously. The cell yield was sufficient for metabolite determination by enzymatic cycling and fluorometric methods. The ease of manipulation of the cells on the microspheres gives this method considerable potential for studies of compartmentation, biosynthesis, and secretion in cardiac myocytes.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.
