Figure 7. Immunolocalization of E2F3 in the organ of Corti.

Figure 7

Panels A and D illustrate E2F3 staining in a normal cochlea. B and E show the staining in a section of the organ of Corti adjacent to the severely-damaged section from a noise-traumatized cochlea. Even though there are no condensed nuclei in this region, certain nuclei display E2F3 immunoreactivity. C and F show a severely-damaged section of the organ of Corti from the second cochlear turn. The arrows point to the nuclei having strong E2F3 immunoreactivity. The double-arrows point to the condensed nuclei that lack E2F3 fluorescence. The panels show the inner hair cells (IHC), three rows of outer hair cells (OHC) and supporting cells from the outer sulcus (OS). Green staining indicates E2F3 while red (propidium iodide) indicates nuclear staining. Bar = 21 μm.
