Expression of Intermediate Filament Proteins in the Inner Ear of the Dancer Mouse Mutant

Abstract
The expression of intermediate filaments (using well defined monoclonal antibodies to detect neurofilaments, vimentin, and cytokeratins nos. 8 and 18) was analysed in the inner ear of the dancer mouse mutant (with a morphogenetic type of inner ear defect) and compared with that in the normal CBA/CBA mouse. A similar pattern of immunoreactivity was found in the two mouse strains.
