| Research Abstract |
The experimental therapy was performed in the mdx dystrophic mouse by the application of myoblast transfer. Production of dystrophin was confirmed in the mdx muscle, suggesting the appearance of nuclear mosaicism in the host muscle fiber, However, dystrophin-positive fibers constituted less than 1% of injected muscle. This low incidence of positive fibers was attributed to the immunological rejection by the host muscle, methods to prevent the rejection were discussed.
