Caption Analysis of limb and diaphragm muscles of the Col6a3tm1Chu/Col6a3tm1Chu (hm/hm) mouse mutant. A, cryosections of gastrocnemius (Gas), quadriceps (Qua), and diaphragm (Dia) muscles of wild-type (+/+) and homozygous mutant mice (hm/hm) were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Centrally localized nuclei (arrows) are abundant in the homozygous mutant muscles but barely detectable in the wild-type controls. An increase in the interstitial connective tissue between muscle fibers is evident in the homozygous mutant mice compared with the wild-type control. Magnification bars, 50 um. D, increased immunoreactivity of type I collagen in homozygous mutant muscle. Cryosections of quadriceps muscles from 6-month-old wild-type and mutantmice were immunostained with affinity-purified antibody against type I collagen. A representative image is shown.
