The morphological, ultrastructural, biochemical and electrophysiological properties of B104-F, a clonal cell line derived from a nitrosoethylurea-induced neoplasm in a rat, were studied as a function of the growth phase of the culture. Cells in exponentially growing cultures are mononucleate and produce action potentials when stimulated electrically. Stationary phase cultures contain 3 types of cells: cells of the 1st type are mononucleate and have long processes containing microfilaments and many parallel microtubules; cells of the 2nd type are mononucleate but contain no microtubules and few microfilaments; and cells of the 3rd type have ultrastructural features typical of multinucleate, striated myotubes. Multinucleate cells generate action potentials with both Na and Ca components and are depolarized by acetylcholine. The acetylcholine response is blocked by d-tubocurarine. The specific activity of creatine phosphokinase is 9 times higher in stationary phase cultures than in exponentially growing ones while the myokinase specific activity is unchanged. The .gamma.-aminobutyric acid content of the cells is 3.5- to 26-fold higher in stationary phase than in exponentially growing cultures, depending on the degree of fusion of the culture. The properties of B104-F are discussed in relation to the properties of developing skeletal muscle and of CNS cell lines.
