Optimization of the rat digit abduction score (DAS) assay: Evaluation of botulinum neurotoxin activity in the gastrocnemius lateralis, peronei, and extensor digitorum longus
The mouse digit abduction score (DAS) assay is commonly used to measure muscle flaccidity-inducing effects of botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) in vivo. Adapting the assay to rats has been challenging, as injection of onabotulinumtoxinA (onaBoNT-A) into the gastrocnemius muscle, as performed in mice, or i...
