Mammary cancer in humans and mice: a tutorial for comparative pathology. The CD-ROM

J Mammary Gland Biol Neoplasia. 2000 Apr;5(2):243-4. doi: 10.1023/a:1026451607575.

Abstract

This article introduces a CD-ROM containing whole-mount and histological images of normal growth and development of both the mouse mammary gland and the human breast. It also covers nonneoplastic lesions and neoplasias in both species including a catalog of lesions in genetically engineered mice. Instructions, with examples, on techniques such as whole-mount preparation, immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, and common histological stains are provided. The images are based on full-scale 1996 x 1640 pixel images at 300 pixels/ inch and are annotated. Every genetically engineered model has one or more accompanying citations. Tables are provided for orientation and organization. The CD includes zoom capabilities, a search engine, and a help mode.
