Cells containing immunoreactive vimentin-type intermediate filaments (IF) were identified in
paraffin sections and whole-mount preparations of the gerbil inner ear. Most connective …

The development of the stria vascularis in the human cochlea was studied in step sections of
81 human foetal temporal bones. The stria vascularis primordium can be identified as a …

Atrophy of the stria vascularis is a genetically determined deafness of aging characterized
by a bilateral symmetrical sensori‐neural hearing loss showing flat audiometric patterns and …

Fifteen human fetal cochleas were investigated by light microscopy and transmission
electron microscopy in order to observe the development of the stria vascularis. The earliest …

Deafness in the viable dominant spotting mouse mutant is due to a primary defect of the stria
vascularis which results in absence of the positive endocochlear potential in scala media …

The distribution of laminin (LA) and type IV collagen (IV-C) in the gerbil inner ear was
investigated by light and electron microscopic immunohistochemistry. Changes in protein …

The expression of the five main groups of intermediate filaments (IF) and their subgroups,
especially cytokeratins, was analysed in cryosections of the labyrinth of the jerker mouse …

The expression of vimentin, cytokeratins (CKs) and neurofilament (NF) proteins was
analysed (using monoclonal antibodies) in the mouse inner ear at the otocyst stage (13th …

The distribution of actin in the lateral wall of the cochlear duct was investigated in the gerbil,
rat, mouse and hamster. A monoclonal antibody specific for muscle α and γ actins, and a …

The distribution of intermediate filament proteins in cryosectioned vestibular organs of 14th-
18th gestation week old human fetuses was analyzed at the light microscopic level using …
