Muscle satellite cells contribute to muscle regeneration. We have used a Pax3GFP/+ mouse line to directly isolate (Pax3)GFP expressing muscle satellite cells, by flow cytometry from adult skeletal muscles, as a homogeneous population of small, non-granular, Pax7+, CD34+, CD45-, Sca1- cells. The flow cytometry parameters thus established, enabled us to isolate satellite cells from wild type muscles. Such cells, grafted into muscles of mdx nu/nu mice contribute both to fiber repair and to the muscle satellite cell compartment. Expansion of these cells in culture prior to engraftment reduces their regenerative capacity.
