Figure 1

Stratified isolation of mouse colon for microenvironmental cellular analysis. (a) Representative images of hematoxylin and eosin (H and E) staining of whole colon, peeled layers containing mucosa and submucosa, and muscularis externa (MEx) are shown. (b) Representative images of H and E staining of de-epithelialized mucosa, muscularis mucosae (MM) with submucosa, and crypt layer are shown. Bar, 100 μm. (c) Representative images of whole colon, mucosa, MM with submucosa, and MEx from Twist2-Cre tdTomato × Col1a2 GFP mice and stained by using EpCAM are shown. (d) Crypt region of Twist2-Cre tdTomato × Col1a2 GFP mice is shown. Bar, 100 μm. Images representative of at least three independent experiments are shown.
