Figure 11. Retarded development of stria vascularis.

Figure 11

A–C: Cross-sections of stria vascularis of Slc26a4+/− (HET) and Slc26a4−/− (KO) mice at E14.5, E16.5 and P3. Na+/K+ ATPase (red) was visualized by immunocytochemistry. F-actin (green) and nuclei (blue) were labeled. D: Cross-sections of stria vascularis at P7 visualized by laser-scanning microscopy without any stain. E: Cross-sections of stria vascularis at ∼P30. The Na+/2Cl/K+ cotransporter Slc12a2 was visualized by immunocytochemistry. The ∼P30 data, previously reported [16], were added here for comparison. Tissue height of stria vascularis is marked by arrow-heads. Cross-sections of individual capillaries are marked with a star.
