From: Stat4 suppresses the proliferation of connective tissue-type mast cells
Skin and stomach histology of Balb/c+/+ and Stat4-deficient Balb/c mice. (a) Skin and (b) stomach sections derived from 6-week-old Stat4+/+ or Stat4−/− Balb/c mice. Mast cells are identified as blue-colored cells in the tissue. Tissue mast cells in the mucosa of glandular stomach (*) were considered as MMCs. All of skin mast cells and submucosal mast cells in the glandular stomach (indicated by arrowheads) were considered as CTMCs. Data are representative of skin samples from eight individual mice or stomach samples from four individual mice.
