Assay
Reference: J:186070 Adato A, et al., Usherin, the defective protein in Usher syndrome type IIA, is likely to be a component of interstereocilia ankle links in the inner ear sensory cells. Hum Mol Genet. 2005 Dec 15;14(24):3921-32
Assay type: Immunohistochemistry
MGI Accession ID: MGI:6272758
Gene symbol: Ush2a
Gene name: usherin
Antibody: U2aCyt1
Assay notes: Two antibodies were described in the publication; authors indicate they produce similar staining. The antibody used in this assay was not detailed; either MGI:6272749 or MGI:6272750 could have been used.
Results
Specimen 3A: embryonic day 18.0 (more )
Note: Double labeled: green - Ush2a; red - F-actin.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: organ of Corti Present Regionally restricted 3A Expression was detected all along the stereocilia of outer hair cells, whereas no labeling is found in the stereocilia of inner hair cells.

Specimen not shown: embryonic day 20.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: organ of Corti Present Regionally restricted At E20, the outer hair cell labeling becomes restricted to the base of the stereocilia and also appears at the base of the inner hair cell sterocilia.

Specimen not shown: postnatal day 0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: organ of Corti Present Regionally restricted Intense labeling at the base of growing sterocilia persisted at P0.

Specimen 3B left: postnatal day 5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: green - Ush2a; red - F-actin.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: organ of Corti Present Regionally restricted 3B left Expression was detected at the base of the stereocilia of both outer and inner hair cells.

Specimen 3B right: postnatal day 5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: green - Ush2a; red - F-actin.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: organ of Corti Present Regionally restricted 3B right Expression was detected at the base of the stereocilia of inner hair cells.

Specimen 3C: postnatal day 10 (more )
Note: Double labeled: green - Ush2a; red - F-actin.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: organ of Corti Present Regionally restricted 3C Labeling of sterocilia starts to fade out first in inner hair cells at P10.

Specimen 3D: postnatal day 15 (more )
Note: Double labeled: green - Ush2a; red - F-actin.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: organ of Corti Strong Regionally restricted 3D Usherin is no longer detected in the sterocilia, but a strong labeling can be seen in the apical part of the cell soma in both hair cells and supporting cells.

Specimen 3E P5: postnatal day 5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: green - Ush2a; red - F-actin.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: inner ear Present Regionally restricted 3E P5 Expression was detected at the base of the stereocilia of vestibular hair cells.

Specimen 3E P15: postnatal day 15 (more )
Note: Double labeled: green - Ush2a; red - F-actin.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: inner ear Present Regionally restricted 3E P15 Expression was detected at the base of the stereocilia of vestibular hair cells.
