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

Figure 5

Expression of KIAA1199 in the newborn common marmoset. KIAA1199 expression is observed in the cochlea of newborn common marmoset (postnatal day 2). Immunoreactivities of KIAA1199 in the cochlear epithelial cells including hair cells, supporting cells, and outer sulcus cells were observed. Expressions were also detected in the lateral wall fibrocytes and stria vascularis. The nuclei were counterstained with Hoechst (blue). Scale bar: 100 μm.
