Abstract

Human fetal muscles have been studied using immunocytochemical methods with antibodies directed against different myosin isoforms. We show that fiber type differences can be detected as early as 15-16 weeks of gestation. At this time it would appear that both the heavy and light chains characteristic of slow myosin are found in some myotubes.
