Biochemical investigations in cultured skin fibroblasts from patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. 1978

S D Pena, and A Vust, and D Tucker, and J L Hamerton, and K Wrogemann

Cultured skin fibroblasts from patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy were studied with a double-labeling procedure. Preliminary evaluation of the growth characteristics and average viability of dystrophic cells did not show any major abnormalities. Analysis of doubly labeled fibroblast mixture did not disclose any consistent anomaly in the distribution of subcellular fractions or in the major protein components of dystrophic fibroblasts.
