Quantitation of satellite cell content in nemaline muscle

	Average density WT	Average density NM	Fold change
MyoD	226.5 ± 34.9	404.1 ± 33.6	1.8
Desmin	366.2 ± 92.2	973.2 ± 136.5	2.7
Pax7	75.4 ± 7.7	179. 4 ± 41.9	2.4
M-Cadherin	27.6 ± 1.9	44.1 ± 1.5	1.6

TA muscles from 2–3 WT or NM mice, 7–8 months of age, were analyzed 2–4 times each by western blot. The optical density of each band was normalized to the corresponding Coomassie stained myosin light chain band and the mean optical density determined for each protein examined. Standard deviations were calculated and expressed as ± values of the mean density. Fold change was calculated from the mean optical densities.
