Adenovirus Vectors Target Several Cell Subtypes of Mammalian Inner Ear In Vivo

Figure 3

Ad-GFP-VB transduces diverse cell types in mouse cochlea when injected at P0. Representative confocal images of whole-mount fluorescent immunolabeling of the cochlea injected with adenovirus at P0 to illustrate the basal (a), middle (b), and apical turns (c). Ad-GFP-VB transduces SCs and OHCs at basal (a), OHCs, IHCs, and SCs at middle (b), and OHCs and IHCs at apical turns (c). IHC: inner hair cell, OHC: outer hair cell, and SC: supporting cell. Scale bars: 10 μm.
