Measurements of collagen density in dermal scars in mast cell-deficient vs. corresponding control mice.

<p>Collagen density, quantified as average blue pixel density per scar area in skin harvested on day 14, in (<b>A</b>) C57BL/6-<i>Kit^W-sh/W-sh</i> (<i>Kit^W-sh/W-sh</i>) mice vs. wild type mice, (<b>B</b>) WBB6F₁-<i>Kit^W/W-v</i> (<i>Kit^W/W-v</i>) mice vs. wild type mice, and (<b>C</b>) <i>Cpa3-Cre; Mcl-1^fl/fl</i> vs. control mice. Representative images of Masson’s Trichrome staining used for the analyses are shown on right panel of <b>A–C</b>, with collagen staining blue. Scale bars: 50 µm.
