The number of polyps is significantly increased in Apc ^Min/+ Ticam1 ^−/− mice. The small and large intestines were collected from 23 to 29-weeks-old mice. The small intestine was divided to three equal parts, proximal small intestine, middle and distal small intestine, and large intestine. Polyps (≧ 2 mm) were counted in the indicated mice. The graphs show the number of polyps in proximal small intestine, distal small intestine, and large intestine. Error bars show SD. p < 0.05 in Student’s t-test and n.s.; not significant
