Expression of CA2. (A,B) Expression of CA2 in the E115 cochlea. No CA2 expression could be detected in the spiral ligament fibrocytes, while its expression in the stria vascularis could be observed. (C,D) Expression of CA2 in the E120 cochlea. Broad expression of CA2 in the spiral ligament fibrocytes could be detected at this stage. (E,F) Expression of CA2 in the P0 cochlea. At this stage, CA2 expression could be detected in type I, II, IV, and V spiral ligament fibrocytes. The nuclei were counterstained with Hoechst (blue). Scale bar 100 µm, StV Stria vascularis, I type I fibrocytes, II type II fibrocytes, III type III fibrocytes, IV type IV fibrocytes, V type V fibrocytes. (A–F) Basal turns.
