SJL Dystrophic Mice Express a Significant Amount of Human Muscle Proteins Following Systemic Delivery of Human Adipose-Derived Stromal Cells Without Immunosuppression

Abstract excerpt
Limb-girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMDs) are a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by progressive degeneration of skeletal muscle caused by the absence of or defective muscular proteins. The murine model for limb-girdle muscular dystrophy 2B (LGMD2B), the SJL mice, carries a deletion in the dysferlin gene that causes a reduction in the protein levels to 15% of normal. The mice show muscle weakness that...
