Quantification of the expression of calpain 3 transcripts in wild type myoblasts and myotubes. These data were obtained from the gel electrophoresis of the RT-PCR reactions using the primer pairs p94sys3, p94sys5 and p94sys6 on murine myoblast (MB) or myotube (MT) mRNA (see Figure 1(b)). The gel and the corresponding quantification are representative of 3 different experiments where similar results were observed. These results have to be taken qualitatively since the experiments were performed by classical RT-PCR and not by quantitative RT-PCR. Numbers are given in arbitrary units.
