(1983) Neuropathology and Applied Neurobiology 9, 61–71 Crystalline aggregates of protein-glycogen complexes (alias ‘viruslike particles’) in skeletal muscle: report of a case and review of the literature Crystalline arrays of so-called ‘virus-like particles’ were found in postmortem samples of skeletal muscle obtained from an 11-month-old female infant. In a large number of skeletal muscle fibres crystalline inclusions were abundant, variously configurated and positively stained with a cytochemical method for polysaccharides. A battery of enzymatic tests, including some with diastase and a-amylase, was, however, entirely non-contributory. A muscle biopsy studied 5 months before death had disclosed no crystalline inclusions of any kind. The literature concerning similar cases of ‘virus-like particles’, crystalline glycogen aggregates or protein-glycogen complexes in muscle is reviewed. Possible reasons underlying the aggregation of protein-glycogen complexes into crystalline arrays are discussed. |
