Immunoreactivity of Tlr4 in the organ of Corti. (A) A typical image of Tlr4 immunostaining in the organ of Corti. (B) Nuclear staining of the same tissue with propidium iodide. Strong Tlr4 immunoreactivity was found in inner hair cells, marked by the top two arrows. Hensen cells display weak immunoreactivity, marked by the bottom two arrows. Outer hair cells and Deiters cells lack immunoreactivity. HC: Hensen cells. OHC1, OHC2 and OHC3: the first, second and third row of outer hair cells. Bar: 20 μm.
