Establishment of pure neuronal and muscle precursor cell cultures from Drosophila early gastrula stage embryos.

Abstract excerpt

Primary cultures of Drosophila gastrula stage embryonic cells will divide and terminally differentiate into morphologically recognizable neurons and muscles. The phenotypically mixed nature of this primary culture system has made it difficult to effectively analyze various parameters of cell growth and differentiation for individual cell types. We report here a simple and economic method to separate early...
