Abstract excerpt
Previously, we demonstrated functional substitution of dystrophin by TAT-μUtrophin (TAT-μUtr) in dystrophin-deficient mdx mice. Herein, we addressed whether TAT-μUtr could improve the phenotype of dystrophin and utrophin double-knockout (mdx:utr(-/-)) mice. Specifically, we quantitatively compared survival and quality of life assessments in mdx:utr(-/-) mice receiving TAT-μUtr protein administration against...
