[3H]Ouabain binding in 12.5-wk-old WT and mutant mice. Whole frozen soleus and EDL muscles or biopsies of tibialis anterior muscles were incubated for 2 h at 37°C in Tris-vanadate buffer containing 10−6 M [3H]ouabain. After the incubation, the muscles were washed four times for 30 min in ice-cold Tris-vanadate buffer to remove unbound [3H]ouabain, blotted, and taken for counting and calculation of specific [3H]ouabain binding as described in the Materials and methods section.
