Figure 1From: Nanopolymers improve delivery of exon skipping oligonucleotides and concomitant dystrophin expression in skeletal muscle of mdx miceDystrophin induction in limb musculature of mdx mice after intramuscular injections of 2'OMe ESO complexed with cationic nanopolymers. The TA muscles of mdx mice were given 3 weekly intramuscular injections of various PEG-PEI copolymers complexed with 5 μg of ESO and harvested 3 wks after the first injection. Dystrophin immunolabeling (Hoechst dye counterstained) at 2 different magnifications and H&E staining of serial transverse sections from TA muscles from the following groups: (A-A") normal age-matched controls, (B-B") mdx untreated, (C-C") mdx injected with PEI2K(PEG550)10-ESO, (D-D") mdx injected with NG-PEI2K(PEG550)10-ESO, and (E-E") mdx injected with CG-PEI2K(PEG5K)10-ESO.Back to article page
