Myosin heavy chain and SERCA isoform staining of soleus cross sections from wild-type and Sln-null mice. A and B: representative cross sections (×200) of so-leus from wild-type (A) and Sln-null (B) mice stained with myosin heavy chain antibodies to identify type I (blue), type IIA (green), and type IIX (unstained) fibers. CF: serial cross sections showing SERCA1a (C and D) and SERCA2a (E and F) protein expression in soleus from wild-type (C and E) and Sln-null (D and F) mice. No differences in fiber type distribution or the fiber type-specific pattern of SERCA isoform expression were observed between wild-type and Sln-null mice. Asterisk (*) represents examples of type IIA fibers that stain heavily for SERCA1a but also stain lightly for SERCA2a.
