Human lymphocyte capping in Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
We have confirmed the observation that, in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, there is a significant reduction in lymphocyte capping. However, our results indicated that this may be related to the degree of muscle damage in these boys, since it was correlated to both age and serum creatine kinase activity and could therefore be a secondary phenomenon.
