A comparison of early involution of wt and ΔN89β-catenin mammary glands. (A) Hematoxylin and eosin–stained sections of wt (top) and ΔN89β-catenin (bottom) inguinal mammary glands from littermates 1, 3, 5, and 7 d of involution (i) after removal of pups, as indicated. (B) Apoptotic changes detected by TUNEL staining of sections from wt (top) and ΔN89β-catenin (TG, bottom) inguinal mammary glands 1 and 3 d after removing pups, as indicated (1i, 3i). Note no significant differences were observed between wt and transgenic samples during this early stage of involution.
