Fig. 7From: Dystrophin restoration therapy improves both the reduced excitability and the force drop induced by lengthening contractions in dystrophic mdx skeletal musclePartial restoration of dystrophin expression in the TA muscle from mdx mice injected with AAV1-U7ex23. a RT-PCR analysis of Dmd exon 23 skipping in mdx mice injected with AAV1-U7ex23. b Quantification of Dmd exon 23 skipping in mdx mice injected with AAV1-U7ex23, c Dystrophin total mRNA level in mdx mice injected with AAV1-U7ex23. d Western blot analysis of dystrophin protein expression in mdx mice injected with AAV1-U7ex23, e Quantification of dystrophin protein expression in mdx mice injected with AAV1 U7ex23.
