Abstract excerpt

In order to evaluate the cytological homology of intermediate cells and melanocytes, and to investigate the function of melanocytes in the inner ear, hearing acuity and cochlear pathology were studied in three strains of mice, namely, wild type mice (+/+), albino mice without melanin (c2J/c2J), and microphthalmia mice with no melanocytes (mibw/mibw). Our histochemical data indicated that intermediate cells showed...
