Aberrant crypt foci (ACF) are clusters of abnormal tube-like glands in the lining of the colon and rectum . Aberrant crypt foci form before colorectal polyps and are one of the earliest changes seen in the colon that may lead to cancer . ACF are, as opposed to normal epithelial cells, apoptosis resistant. When looking for aberrant crypt foci with microscopy, methylene blue is used as a staining agent. The resulting figure is fairly easy to detect under the microscope at low magnification (x40).
