Distinct Expression Pattern of a Deafness Gene, KIAA1199, in a Primate Cochlea

Figure 1

Expression of KIAA1199 in the cochlea of the common marmoset. (a and b) KIAA1199 expression is observed in the lateral wall of the cochlea, sensory epithelium, spiral limbus, and spiral ganglion neuron. No expression is observed in Reissner’s membrane. LW: lateral wall of cochlea, OC: organ of Corti, SL: spiral limbus, SGN: spiral ganglion neuron, and RM: Reissner’s membrane. The nuclei were counterstained with Hoechst (blue). Scale bar: 200 μm in (a) and 100 μm in (b).
