Comparative immunoblot analysis of dystroglycan
expression in dystrophic heart and skeletal muscle. Shown is the
graphical presentation of the immuno-decoration of laminin
((a),(b)), α-dystroglycan ((c),(d)), and
β-dystroglycan ((e),(f)) in normal (black bars) and
dystrophic mdx (grey bars) membrane preparations from
both skeletal ((a),(c),(e)) and cardiac ((b),(d),(f))
muscles (n = 5; SEM; *P < .05; **P < .01; ***P < .001). Specimens were taken from 6-, 8-, and 24-week-(w-)old mice.
