Research Abstract |
Sporadic inclusion body myositis(sIBM) is an intractable and progressive skeletal muscle disease of unknown cause and without effective treatment. Our purpose is to elucidate the pathomechanism of sIBM exploring the autoantibody in the serum of sIBM patients using protein array. We also produced muscle specific proteasome deficient mice as the disease model of sIBM.
