Mouse Histo. Atlas

1/6/98

Does anyone know of an atlas of mouse histology? With the

ultrastructural work we are doing lately with transgenic

mice, I must admit that I am not always sure that the

interesting structures we see are normal or result from

genetic manipulation. Obviously, we observe control

tissue, but an atlas would be invaluable as a baseline for

comparison.

Thank you in advance,

Doug

My brother-in-law was looking over my shoulder this morning when

your request for a mouse histiolgy atlas arrived. He teaches histology &

has done a bit of rodent research & he suggests a book from the 60s on

mouse embryology by Roberts Rugh. Happy hunting...

Dear Dough,

there is an excellent atlas about mouse development (mostly histology, some

scanning EM, few transmission EM):

Matthew H. Kaufman "The atlas of mouse development", Academic Press, London/

San Diego (1st edition in 1992, revised ed. in 1995).

Best wishes

Heinz
