Ad-GFP-VB transduces supporting cells and OHCs in the mouse cochlear when injected at P4. Representative confocal images of whole-mount fluorescent immunolabeling of the cochlea to illustrate the basal (a), middle (b), and apical turns (c). Ad-GFP-VB transduces SCs at basal (a) and middle (b) and occasional OHCs at apical turns (arrows in (c)). Scale bars: 10 μm.
