Abstract
This is a review of the application of cell surface cytochemistry to the study of human neuromuscular disease. The advantages and limitations of the use of lectins coupled to peroxidase are discussed, and the application of this technique is illustrated by a study of the surface of muscle cells in Duchenne muscular dystrophy and polymyositis.This publication has 53 references indexed in Scilit:
