Abstract
Cultured fibroblasts from patients suffering from Duchenne's Muscular Dystrophy were examined by indirect immunofluorescent techniques using antibodies against actin, myosin, tubulin, and intermediate-sized filaments. The cells display normal patterns of microfilamentous bundles (stress fibres), microtubules, and intermediate-sized filaments suggesting a normal organization of these cytoskeletal structures.Keywords
