Myo7a is expressed in intermediate cells of stria vascularis in Atp6v0a4 mutant mice. (A-F) Expression of Myo7a in sections of Atp6v0a4 wild-type and homozygous mutant mice at P0, as shown by immunohistochemistry. (A,D) Mid-modiolar sections of the cochlea. (B,E) Higher magnification of the boxed regions in A and D, respectively. (C,F) Higher magnifications of the stria vascularis from B and E, respectively. In both wild types and mutants, Myo7a is strongly expressed in the hair cells of the organ of Corti (B,E) and in the melanocyte-like cells within the stria vascularis (B,E; arrowheads in C,F). HC, hair cells; SV, stria vascularis. Scale bars: 200 μm (A,D); 400 μm (B,E); 20 μm (C,F).
