Expression of a cell death marker (clusterin) in muscle target fibers

We report, for the first time, the expression of immunoractivity to clusterin in skeletal muscle. Clusterin, a protein probably related to the process of programmed cell death (apoptosis), was specifically very highly expressed in target fibers. All target fibers found in 50 muscle biopsy samples fr...
