Phenotype Image Detail
Image
Caption Light microscopy of thoracic aortas in wild-type (+/+) and Loxtm1Ikh/Loxtm1Ikh (-/-) mice. Serial sections of thoracic aortas (x400) are displayed. The upper two panels represent hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stained sections. Note the disrupted smooth muscle cells in mutant, but not wild-type mice (arrows). The middle panels stained with trichrome demonstrate discontinuity of collagen in mutant, but not wild-type mice (arrows). Lower panel, photomicrographs of tissue sections stained with Hart's elastin stain. The arrows highlight a well developed internal elastic lamina and concentric lamellae in wild-type mice, whereas it is fragmented and discontinuous in mutant mice (arrows).
