Figure 2. Villus coalescence in adult KO/Tg distal small intestine.

Figure 2

(A-D) Whole mount views of distal small intestinal mucosa. Compared to the villi of Het/Tg mice (A), the KO/Tg villi (B-D) showed varying degrees of villus coalescence, from a widened phenotype (B) to a “cerebroid” pattern (C) to a “mosaic” pattern (D). (E-G) Scanning electron micrographs confirmed the findings in (A-D). Bars, 200 μm.
