Using the protein A-gold complex, the mvoabrillogenesis and actin localization of cultured myoblast were invastisated. In the superstructural changes of mvogenic cell during differentiation, pectoral myoblasts contained large nucleus and numerous ribosomes but no myofibrils during the first 24 hr of cultures. Mvoblast initiated to differentiate at 3-day of culture contained the primitive myofibrillar structure. At 96 hr of culture, the mvofibrillar structure showed reletively discernable Z band but pools defined A, H and M bands. The feature of sarcomeric structure showed more defined form at cultur 5 day. In the aspect of actin localization, actin wvas diffusely detected throughout the cytoplasm of myogenic cell and nucleus during the proliferating stage. At 72 hr of culture, with the appearantc oi primitive mvofibrils, gold particles were observed in surrounding of myofibrils but still presented in overall of cytoplasm, especially in the surface and lumen of endoplasmic reticulum. With the gradual increase of culture time, local distribution of actin was readily detected within cytoplasm. In the 5-day specimen of cultures, gold particles precisely indicate the sites of actin localifation within the sarcomere. These results indicate the time of onset of myofibrill appearance and the biosynthetic and incorporation pathway of actin molecules into sarcomeric structure during myofibrillogenesis. Thus, in the present study, the first mvoabrillar structure was detected at culture 3 day, and the initiation of assembly into a typical sarcmeric structure was observed at culture 5 day. It seems, however, that the course of events on myofibrillogenesis of cultured myoblasts can be changed with great dependence of culture conditions including the number and groluth rate of mononucleated mvoblasts after seeding although the fundamental process shows identical appearances.
