Fig. 3. Detection of GFP⁺ muscle fibres in the radiation bone marrow chimeras. H-E staining (A,C,E) and GFP fluorescence (B,D,F) of TA (A,B) and VL (C,D) muscles and diaphragm (E,F) of radiation-bone-marrow chimera. (G) GFP⁺ TA muscle fibre; (H) dystrophin staining (Texas-Red-conjugated anti-dystrophin antibody); (I) mixed color of (G) and (H); (J) GFP fluorescence; (K) dystrophin-staining; (L) the mixed color of (J) and (K) from the TA muscle of a normal C57BL/6 mouse as a control. Bars, 100 µm (A-F) and 50 µm (G-I).
