Fig. 7. Surface distribution of laminin-2/4 and ${alpha}$ -dystroglycan in mdx dystrophic muscle. Confocal images of teased muscle isolated from an 11-week-old mdx/mdx mouse. The pattern of laminin-2/4 (Lm2) revealed prominent Z bands with variable reductions of M- and longitudinal striations, and more prominent selective loss of the ${alpha}$ -dystroglycan (DG) inter-Z minor circumferential M bands. The furrows are sites of capillaries removed from the sarcolemma.
