CX31 expression 1 in the P0 cochlea of the common marmoset. (A) CX31 expression in the stria vascularis and sensory epithelium of the cochlear duct. (B) In the stria vascularis, CX31 expression was observed in the basal cells (arrowheads in B). (C) CX31 was expressed in the inner sulcus cells, inner border cells, Hensen’s cells, and spiral prominence cells. Nuclei were counterstained with Hoechst (blue). StV stria vascularis, OC organ of Corti, MC marginal cells, IC intermediate cells, BC border cells, IHC inner hair cells, OHC outer hair cells, HC Hensen’s cells, ISC inner sulcus cells. Scale bar: 50 μm in (A, C), 20 μm in (B).
