Beta-7 integrin controls enterocyte migration in the small intestine

Figure 2 Morphometrical approach for evaluation of enterocyte migration. Formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded small intestinal tissues of beta-7 integrin-deficient mice or wild type mice were anti-BrdU immunostained. BrdU was injected 4, 20, or 40 h before sacrificing mice. Red dots illustrate examples of cell^max location. The insets at 4 h illustrate staining results. Original magnification, × 200.
