The Difference ◽  
Dystrophic Mice

The hind leg muscle of normal mice and mice with hereditary muscular dystrophy was taken for individual analyses of the creatine-phosphorylating enzyme, creatine kinase. Creatine kinase activity was always found to be higher in the muscle of normal mice than in that of dystrophic mice, and the values in each group decreased with increasing age of the mice. The difference was greatest in mice of 2 weeks of age, and in the light of these findings some suggestions are made about the pathogenesis of muscular dystrophy.

Abstract Members of three unrelated families with the mild Becker type of muscular dystrophy were subjected to lymphocyte capping tests and measurements of serum creatine kinase activity. Both tests correctly identified all nine affected males, but only the capping test was abnormal in seven of eight obligate carriers. The number of capped cells in carriers and affected persons with the Becker-type dystrophy was generally intermediate between those observed for individuals with the Duchenne trait and normal controls, thus potentially aiding in the differential diagnosis between the two myopathies. The lack of sensitivity of measurements of serum creatine kinase activity in identifying carriers is further complicated by the difficulty of establishing reliable reference intervals for this enzyme in 204 healthy controls. Detailed directions for the performance of the capping test are presented.
