Expression of LM α Chains in Mouse Skeletal Muscle

(A) LM immunofluorescence using anti-α1, α2, α3, α4, and α5 chain antibodies is shown in red. PAX7 was used as a satellite cell maker (green) and DAPI was used a nuclear maker (blue). Scale bar represents 20 μm.

(B) High-magnification view of LMα3, α4, and α5 expression around satellite cells. Scale bar represents 5 μm.

(C) High-magnification view of LMα3, α4, and α5 expression around satellite cells 14 days after cardiotoxin (CTX) injection (sequential scanning image). Muscle tissue was stained with anti-LMα3-5 antibody (red) and anti-PAX7 antibody (green) in satellite cells. Scale bar represents 5 μm.
