Figure 1

Immunofluorescence labelling and confocal imaging of wild type (WT) and TMC1 knockout (Tmc1−/−) OHC bundles from apical cochlear region at P12. (a) Stereocilia are labelled along with the apices of supporting cells (SC). (b) Neither cell type is labelled in the knockout control. Phalloidin was not used as a counterstain, but bundle localization is evident from the equivalent bright field images a(b) and b(b). Green arrows identify the same bundle in each pair of images.
