Description
The knock-out of calpain 3 (C3KO) is a murine model for calpainopathies wich shows a mild dystrophic phenotype with signs of muscle degeneration. Adult (A) mice show a more severe phenotype than young (Y) mice which only present inflammatory infiltrates in most severely affected muscles, such as the soleus. Other muscles (e.g. quadriceps) are much less affected.
