Figure 5From: Effect of levosimendan on the contractility of muscle fibers from nemaline myopathy patients with mutations in the nebulin geneWestern blot example, with anti-TnC antibody, including muscle homogenates of human diaphragm muscle (which is known to contain both slow skeletal/cardiac troponin C and fast skeletal troponin C), human left ventricle (which also contains slow skeletal/cardiac troponin C), and quadriceps muscle of NEB-NM patients (biopsy IDs T33 and T1069 are shown) and healthy controls. Note that slow skeletal/cardiac troponin C is abundant in NEB-NM muscle. NEB-NM, nemaline myopathy patients with mutations in the nebulin gene; CTRL, control; MHC, myosin heavy chain.Back to article page
