Myosin VIIa and neurofilaments in Ad.Math1.11D-treated and normal cochleae. a, Myosin VIIa-positive ectopic hair cells (arrows) among interdental cells. Inner hair cells (arrowheads) mark the medial border of the organ of Corti. b, A myosin VIIa-positive hair cell (arrow) among Hensen cells. c, An ectopic myosin VIIa-positive hair cell (red) in the interdental cell region. An axon (green) extends from the organ of Corti (arrowhead) to ectopic hair cell. d, An axon (green) extends laterally into the Hensen cell region (arrowheads, lateral border of organ of Corti). e, Myosin VIIa and axons in the organ of Corti (cochlear area similar to that shown in Fig. 1b, adjacent to the inoculation site) 60 d after artificial endolymph inoculation. Inner (arrowhead) and outer (arrows) hair cells are myosin VIIa positive. Several outer hair cells are missing. f, Neurofilament staining is restricted to the organ of Corti in normal (noninoculated) cochlea. Myosin VIIa (red) is in inner (arrowhead) and outer (arrows) hair cells. Micrographs are oriented with medial (modiolar) side down. Scale bars, 25 μm.
