The mdx mouse has a mutated dystrophin gene and is used as a model for the study of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). We investigated whether regenerating mdx skeletal muscle contains the extracellular matrix protein tenascin-C (TN-C), which is expressed in wound healing and nerve regeneration. Pri
We studied by high-resolution immunofluorescence (HRI) and by confocal laser scanning optical microscopy (CLSOM) the costameric organization of dystrophin and vinculin at the surface membrane of muscle fibers from 4 young boys with Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD). By HRI, the surface membrane of nor
Golden retriever muscular dystrophy (GRMD), the canine model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), is caused by a splice site mutation in the dystrophin gene. This mutation predicts a premature termination codon in exon 8 and a peptide that is 5% the size of normal dystrophin. Western blot analysis
