Abstract excerpt
Using antibodies directed against the amino-terminus of dystrophin, we identified a truncated protein in a Duchenne muscular dystrophy patient. Antibodies directed against the carboxy-terminus failed to identify any cross-reactive material, a result consistent with premature termination of dystrophin translation. The estimated molecular mass of 126 kDa predicted the approximate location of the mutation in the...
