Differential response of the mesentery to pristane in C57BL/6J and BALB/cByJ mice. (a) After i.p. injection of 300 μl (8.31 × 10−4 mol) of pristane, C57BL/6J and BALB/cByJ mice were sacrificed at week 3 or week 11, and gut associated WMT from naïve or pristane-primed mice was photographed. A white arrow indicates a polyp on mesentery. (b) SG were numerated in C57BL/6J and BALB/cByJ mice. ***P < 0.001 shows the difference between C57BL/6J mice vs. BALB/cByJ mice. (c) An equivalent area of MG or strip of SG was excised from either C57BL/6J or BALB/cByJ mice at week 3 or 11 after pristane, and the tissue was fixed and stained with hematoxylin and eosin solution. Representative pictures are shown. Original magnification (objective): ×63.
