Results
Specimen 2Q: embryonic day 17.0 (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Sox2; green - Myo6 (assay MGI:5431532).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS25: cochlea Present Regionally restricted 2Q Along the medial to lateral axis of the mid-basal cochlea, expressing nuclei are detected in both hair cell and support cell layers spanning from inner hair cells and inner phalangeal cells to outer hair cells, Deiters' cells and lateral tunnel cells.

Specimen 2R: embryonic day 17.0 (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Sox2; green - Prox1 (assay MGI:5431544).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS25: cochlea Present Regionally restricted 2R Along the medial to lateral axis of the mid-basal cochlea, expressing nuclei are detected in both hair cell and support cell layers spanning from inner hair cells and inner phalangeal cells to outer hair cells, Deiters' cells and lateral tunnel cells.

Specimen 4A: postnatal adult (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Sox2; green - Myo7a (assay MGI:5431556).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: utricle epithelium Present Regionally restricted 4A Expression was detected in a subset of hair cell nuclei distributed across the sensory epithelia.

Specimen 4D: postnatal adult (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Sox2; green - Myo7a (assay MGI:5431556).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: crista ampullaris Present Regionally restricted 4D Expression was detected in a subset of hair cell nuclei distributed across the sensory epithelia.

Specimen 4G: postnatal adult (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Sox2; green - Myo7a (assay MGI:5431556).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: cochlea Present Regionally restricted 4G Expression was detected in the auditory sensory epithelium.

Specimen 5A: postnatal adult (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Sox2; green - Calb1 (assay MGI:5431728).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: macula of saccule Present Regionally restricted 5A Expression was limited to Type II vestibular hair cells in the striola. In extrastriolar regions, approximately one-half of the hair cell nuclei were labeled.

Specimen 5B: postnatal adult (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Sox2; green - Calb1 (assay MGI:5431728).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: saccule Present Uniform 5B Expression was uniform in support cells.

Specimen 5C: postnatal adult (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Sox2; green - Pvalb (assay MGI:5431729).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: organ of Corti Present Regionally restricted 5C Expression was detected in a subset of differentiated support cells, including Deiters', pillar, inner phalangeal, tectal and lateral tunnel cells. Expression was absent from adult cochlear hair cells.

Specimen 5D left: postnatal adult (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: organ of Corti Present Regionally restricted 5D left Expression was detected in a subset of differentiated support cells, including Deiters', pillar, inner phalangeal, tectal and lateral tunnel cells. Expression was absent from adult cochlear hair cells.
