Figure 1. Age-related Cav1.3 expression in cochlea. (A, B) immunofluorescence of CaV1.3(green) and Myo7a (red) in the organ of Corti (left) and spiral ganglion (right) (magnification, ×400), nuclei was visualized by DAPI (blue). (C) the immunofluorescent staining for CaV1.3 (green) in the whole cochlear basilar membrane. (D) quantitative analysis of CaV1.3 expression in hair cells, spiral ganglion and cochlea basilar membrane.
