Figure 1. 129S2/SvPasCrl mouse is affected by cystine urolithiasis.

Figure 1

A, Eighty percent of 129S2/SvPasCrl mice sacrificed at 16 weeks or dead before 16 weeks have been affected by urolithiasis whereas no C57BL/6J mice has been affected, p = 0.0007, n = 10/group. B, Bladder stones in a 129S2/SvPasCrl mouse. C, Spectrum of cystine was obtained by FTIR analysis of mouse stones. D–F, Scanning electron microscopy of a stone, at x58, x506, and x1070 magnification respectively, revealed the typical flat hexagonal structure of cystine crystals.
