Morphological characterization of primary cilia on differentiated and
undifferentiated mouse cochlear precursor hair cells. (A) Representative
images showing double-immunocytochemical staining for Ac-tubulin (red)
and γ-tubulin (green) in the undifferentiated US/VOT-E36 cells.
Representative scanning electron microscopy (SEM) (B) and transmission
electron microscopy (TEM) (C, D) of the undifferentiated cells. (E, F)
Images showing double-immunocytostaining for Ac-tubulin (red) and
γ-tubulin (green) in the undifferentiated cells (incubated at 33C) and
differentiated cells (incubated at 39C). Scale bars = 5 μm (A), 1 μm (B,
C), 0.5 μm (D), 10 μm (E, F). Abbreviation: US/VOT-E36, University of
Sheffield/ventral otocyst-epithelial cell line clone 36.
