Paraffin sections immunostained with each of six antibodies. Prostaglandin D synthase (PGDS) antibody stains basal and marginal cells of stria vascularis (S), type I fibrocytes of spiral ligament (type I), and fibrocytes of spiral limbus (black arrowhead). Sodium, potassium adenosine triphosphatase (Na+,K+-ATPase) antibody stains stria vascularis (S), type II fibrocytes of spiral ligament (type II), and nerve fibers below inner hair cells (gray arrow). Antibody against aquaporin 1 (Aqp 1) stains type III fibrocytes of spiral ligament (type III) and medial portion of Reissner’s membrane (RM). Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) antibody stains type IV fibrocytes of spiral ligament (type IV) and root cells (R). Antibody against tubulin stains pillar cells (P) and root cells (R). Neurofilament (NF) antibody stains some of spiral ganglion cells (SPG) and nerve fibers in Rosenthal’s canal, beneath inner and outer hair cells and crossing tunnel of Corti (black arrow). Calibration bar — 50 µm.
