Figure 5. Immunostaining for connexin 29. A–D. Dual labeling with connexin 29 (green) and NF 200 (red) in the sections from apical turns.

Figure 5

Schwann cells and their processes ensheathing neurons stain positively for connexin 29 in a CBA/CaJ mouse. In contrast, staining for connexin 29 is lacking around the neurons within a small neural cluster (*) in a C57BL/6J mouse (B) as well as in neurons within four neural clusters (*) in an Ly5.1 mouse (C). NF200-positive myelinated nerve fibers (red) are surrounded by connexin 29-positive Schwann cell processes in the osseous spiral lamina of an Ly5.1 mouse (D). Scale bar: A–D, 10 µm. A magenta-green copy of this figure is available as Supplementary Figure 4.
