Figure 8. Expression of CIITA after acoustic trauma.

Figure 8

A: A typical image shows the immunoreactivity of CIITA in the basilar membrane of the basal section of a control cochlea. Macrophages lack the immunostaining. Mesothelial cells on the basilar membrane display weak immunoreactivity. The tissue in the bottom of the image is the residual lateral wall tissue, which is not the focus of the current study. B: Immunoreactivity of CIITA in the basilar membrane of the basal section of a noise-damaged cochlea examined at 4 days after noise exposure. Arrows indicate the macrophages with increased CIITA immunoreactivity.
