Dystrophin localization and gene expression in the developing nervous system of the chick

The presence and distribution of dystrophin was studied in selected areas of the chick embryo nervous system and in primary cultures. Dystrophin was examined at the protein level by immunocytochemistry and at the transcriptional level by a semiquantitative reverse transcriptase‐polymerase chain reaction analysis.
