1 Jan 1993
Abstract excerpt
Skeletal muscle specimens from three patients with inclusion body myositis, aged 39, 60 and 71 years, respectively, were investigated. Enzyme histochemical staining of cytochrome c oxidase (COX), succinate dehydrogenase and myofibrillar ATPase, and in situ hybridization of transcripts of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) were performed on consecutive sections. In all three cases a proportion of muscle fibres (2-5%)...
