Figure 3From: Optimization of ectopic gene expression in skeletal muscle through DNA transfer by electroporationEctopic DNA expression following electroporation does not occur in damaged muscle fibers. Micrograph above represents an example of a seriously injured muscle following electroporation. Blue fibers are cells that are expressing ectopic LacZ. Mineralized necrosis is apparent in the opaque, brown fibers. Ectopic DNA expression and muscle damage are mutually exclusive.Back to article page
