Fig. 5. Hesr1 or Hesr2 null mice have normal organs of Corti at postnatal day 3.

Fig. 5

The sensory epithelia from wild type (A), Hesr1 −/− (B), and Hesr2 −/− (C) stained with Hematoxylin-Eosin (HE), GS-lectin (hair cells) and anti-Prox1 antibody (supporting cells). The organ of Corti of Hesr1 or Hesr2 knockout mouse showed 4 rows of hair cells (one of inner and 3 of outer hair cells) and 5 rows of supporting cells (2 pillar and 3 Deiters’ cells) similar to the wild type littermates (A). ihc: Inner hair cells (arrows). ohc: Outer hair cells (arrowheads). pc: Pillar cells. dc: Deiters’ cells. Scale bar= 20 µm.
