Figure 1

Generation of mammographic densities in the mouse mammary gland. Panels a–e represent a mammary gland from sham treated mice, f–j illustrate Matrigel injected mammary glands, k–o show fibroblast inoculated mammary gland, and p–t show a mammary gland from a pregnant mouse at day 13 of gestation. Each set of glands was successively analyzed by radiography (panels a, f, k and p), carmine alum whole mount staining (panels b, g, l and q), and trichrome staining (panels c–e, h–j and m–o) or haematoxylin and eosin staining (panels r–t). The size bar in panel c is 2 mm, and this magnification also applies to panels a, b, f–h, k–m and p–r. The size bar in panel d is 0.2 mm (which also applies to panels i and n); in panel e it is 20 μm; in panel j it is 0.04 mm (which also applies to panel t); in panel o it is 10 μm; and in panel s it is 1 mm.
