We studied 6 control patients to verify the correlation between monoclonal CTP ELISA testing and clinical expected results with 4 CI cases. MEL was collected in each of the 4 conditions during CI surgery, with a set of samples (A, B, C, and D) collected from the other 2 cases, B and C: Sample A: from the mastoid cavity. Sample B: from the middle ear without performing any manipulation to the cochlea. Sample C: from the middle ear after opening the round window membrane. Sample D: from the middle ear after electrode insertion. Background color should make a visual differentiation between pos., inter., and neg. cases easier.
