Figure 8. Tumor Burden.

Figure 8

Mouse colons were removed at the time of sacrifice and photographed. Colon area, individual tumor area, and number of tumors were measured. In this way total tumor area and tumor percentage was calculated. KO DSS (n=11) mice developed statistically more tumors than WT DSS (n=14). A. Shown is the mean number of colon tumors per mouse. B. Depicted is the total tumor area per mouse. C. The ratio of tumor area to colon area is shown. * indicates p<.05, ** indicates p<.01.
