To correlate the in vivo imaging data to the biological characteristics of the tissues, immunohistochemical analyses of glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) and proliferation (Ki67) were performed on 7-week and 10-week MIN-O tissues, which were further classified into proliferation zones, differentiation zones, and adenocarcinoma (Figs. 6, 7). The gene discussed is MKI67; the disease is adenocarcinoma.
