Fig. 5. Distribution of the types of ICC in intestine from 129S2-KitW-lacZ/+ (n = 4) and congenic PRM/Alf-KitW-lacZ/+ (n = 4) mice. 129, 129S2-KitW-lacZ/+: PRM, congenic PRM/Alf- KitW-lacZ/+; ICC-MP, ICC surrounding the myenteric plexus; ICC-DMP, ICC in the region of the deep muscular plexus; ICC-SS, subserosal ICC; ICC-CM, ICC in the circular muscle layer; ICC-SMP, submucosal ICC. Data are given as percentages, calculated as described in MATERIALS AND METHODS. Interpretation of the differences was made by MANOVA, with degrees of freedom involved with the test equal to 2 and 5 in the small intestine and to 4 and 3 in the colon. *0.01 P < 0.05. NS, not significant.
