Quantitation of mast cells in colon polyps of 5CreCAT mice. (A–C) Distribution of MCs expressing mMCP2, 5 or 6 in colon adenomas of 5CreCAT mice; 200X field, n = 5 mice; plots show all mast cells (all), intraepithelial mast cells (IE), and stromal mast cells (stromal); unpaired Student's t-test. (A) Densities of MCs expressing mMCP2, 5, or 6 in spontaneous colon polyps; n = 5 mice. (B) Densities of MCs in distant healthy colon; n = 4 mice. (C) Representative MC stains in serial sections of 5CreCAT colon-adenomas, for mMCP2, 5, or 6.
