The effect was studied of pretreatment with concanavalin A (ConA) of primary myoblast cultures on their migration when transplanted into muscles. As donors, transgenic CD1 mice in which the β-galactosidase gene is under the control of a CMV promoter (CMVLacZ.9) were used. The myoblasts were grown with 20 μg/mL ConA during the 2 days before injecting them in the right tibialis anterior (TA) muscles of BALB/c mice and mdx mice. As a control, myoblasts from the same primary cultures were grown without ConA and injected in the left TA muscles. The host muscles were not previously irradiated or damaged by notexin injection. The recipient mice were immunosuppressed with FK506. Four days after myoblast transplantation, the area occupied by donor cells was significantly greater (more than threefold) following culture with ConA than without ConA. This result indicates that culture of myoblasts with ConA permits them to migrate farther following their transplantation in host muscles not previously damaged by notexin injection or irradiation. This suggests that pretreatment with ConA may be helpful for myoblast transplantation in humans. The mechanism of this effect still remains to be investigated. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
