Figure 1

Eight tongue samples from Wt and LRAT−/− male mice that were treated with 4-NQO. The genotypes and pathological diagnoses are as follows: #1, Wt, normal epithelium; #11, LRAT−/−, hyperplasia; #2, Wt, SCC in situ; #13, LRAT−/−, invasive SCC; #4, Wt, invasive SCC; #17, LRAT−/−, moderate dysplasia; #5, Wt, SCC in situ; #15, LRAT−/−, moderate dysplasia. More details are shown in Table 2. Wt, wild type; −/−, LRAT−/−.
