Whole mount in situ hybridization of the chick cochlea forα-Tectorin, a gene expressed in supporting cells for synthesizing proteins needed to maintain the extracellular matrix of the tectorial membrane. This gene is down-regulated in all supporting cells within 24h of a single gentamicin injection, but begins to be re-expressed in some supporting cells by 48h after the gentamicin.
