✦ Synopsis

Abstract

A method for killing dividing cells (Puck and Kao, '67) was adapted for the elimination of dividing heart muscle cells (myoblasts) in cultures. We have used this method to demonstrate their presence and to estimate their number as well as the number of nondividing heart muscle cells (myocytes) in the neo‐natal rat heart. Cells were cultivated in BUdR (5‐bromodeoxyuridine) 10^−4^ M for 3 days and then irradiated with long UV light. The selective elimination of dividing cells led to a loss of myosin Ca^2+^‐activated ATPase in the cultures. This indicates the presence of dividing cells which contain myosin. The percent of ATPase left after irradiation was 32% of the control in cultures derived from 1‐day postnatal rats and 48% in cultures from 4‐day postnatal rats. This reflects an in vivo shift of myoblasts to myocytes in the muscle cell population as the rat ages.

## Abstract We have recently reported that cell lines of nonparenchymal origin isolated from rat liver and pancreas, which have been suggested to be the progeny of a facultative stem cell compartment in vivo, express an unusual combination of keratins (K). These cell lines express K8 and K14 but no
