Zeta Mv
Model Scope in_vivo
Model Type in vivo
Cell Lines Or Primary Cells
Animal Model mdx mouse (Duchenne muscular dystrophy model), adult (6–8 weeks)
Administration Route intravenous (tail vein)
Output Type Exon 23 skipping (RT-PCR); dystrophin restoration (immunostaining/western); muscle function (grip strength)
Output Value Skeletal muscle dystrophin ~25–100% of normal; heart ~10–20% of normal at 3 weeks; grip strength improved to normal range
Output Units
Output Notes Single low-dose systemic P007-PMO produced widespread dystrophin restoration across muscles; ~50% exon skipping in heart; grip strength improved.
Toxicity Notes No overt ill health; liver/kidney histology normal; serum AST/ALT reduced toward normal; urea/creatinine unchanged at 25 mg/kg (P007-PMO).
