Abstract excerpt

Muscular dysgenic (mdg/mdg) myotubes cultured alone do not contract. Glucosephosphate isomerase (GPI-1) isozymes were analyzed to determine the final genotype of cultured dysgenic (mdg/mdg, gpi-1a/a) myotubes to which normal embryonic spinal cord and limb cells (CBA/J +/+, gpi-1b/b) had been adde...
