Figure 12

Confocal immunofluorescence reaction of laminin (red) in control (a), mdx (b), and PDN mdx (c) muscles. Mdx myofibers show a faint and discontinuous expression of laminin around the sarcolemma (b) compared with control animals, which express an intense sarcolemmal red signal (a). PDN mdx myofibers again show a strong laminin expression (c). Scale bar: a–c, 15, 8 μm.
