Purpose of the STSM:
The aim of this STSM was to validate exon skipping efficiency using an antisense oligonucleotide (AON) to skip exon 51 (the same we have tried before in DMD human myoblasts) and to test dystrophin expression comparing control and DMD pig cultures before and after being treated with the AON.

Title: Validation of a pig cell culture to evaluate antisense therapies for DMD
