Polyps from B6 ApcMin/+, Mom2R/+ mice tend to be more advanced than polyps from B6 ApcMin/+ mice. Microdissected polyps were stained with hematoxylin and eosin and photographed on a Nikon Eclipse E600 microscope at 100× magnification. (A,C,E,G,I) Isolated from B6 ApcMin/+ Mom2+/+ mice as indicated. (B,D,F,H,J) Isolated from B6 ApcMin/+ Mom2R/+ mice as indicated. Size measurements revealed that adenomas in ApcMin/+ Mom2R/+ mice were threefold larger than the adenomas in ApcMin/+ Mom2+/+mice (P = 0.03) (data not shown).
