Distribution of freeze fracture particle sizes in Duchenne muscle plasma membrane

From the Department of Neurology, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA.

We studied the distribution of freeze-fracture intramembranous particle (IMP) sizes in Duchenne muscie biopsies and controls. We found that the previously reported decrease in muscle plasma membrane particle density in Duchenne includes a variety of different IMPs, but does not preferentially involve IMPs of any one size.
