| Annotated paper: | Del Signore A, et al. "Dystrophin stabilizes alpha 3- but not alpha 7-containing nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subtypes at the postsynaptic apparatus in the mouse superior cervical ganglion" Neurobiol Dis. 2002 Jun;10(1):54-66 PMID:12079404 |

| Annotation description: | Literal: "At the cell surface, the immunoreaction product for the four nAChR subunits was found associated with the postsynaptic specializations of several synapses established on the soma and dendrites of the ganglionic neurons. Figures 2C (wild-type) and 2D (mdx) show two postsynaptic apparatus immunopositive for the alpha7 and beta2 subunits, respectively." Note: - With "the four nAChR subunits" the authors mean alpha3, alpha7, beta2 and beta4. - Images of immuno-EM data for alpha3 and beta4 is not included in the paper figures (data not shown) |
