Figure 6. Acetylcholine receptor (AChR) complexes remain innervated in DM affected intercostal muscle.

Figure 6

Thoracic intercostal muscle from one unaffected and six affected dogs were stained with alpha bungarotoxin to label AChR's (red), and anti-NF-L to label axon terminals (green). At least 100 complexes were imaged from each sample. Axons were scored based on proximity to AChR complexes as intact (A), partially intact (B), or absent (C). (D) Bar graph showing the percentage of receptors from each sample that were intact, partially intact, or absent. Insert in A is a higher magnification showing contact between the nerve terminal and the receptor complex. A-C are representative images of observations from control and affected samples.
