Figure 2 Histological analysis of colorectal tumors induced by AOM. Representative HE-stained sections of colon tumors in WT mice (A): a: Adenoma; b, c, e: Carcinomas in situ; d: Adenocarcinoma; f: Boxed area in e is shown at a higher magnification. Representative HE-stained sections of colorectal tumors in KO mice (B). All tumors in KO mice showed features of adenocarcinoma: l: Boxed area in k is shown at a higher magnification. Original magnification: × 20 for b, c, d, h, i, j; × 40 for a, e, g, k; and × 200 for f and l.
