Development of satellite glial cells in the spiral ganglion.

<p>(A–D) Deconvoluted confocal images of the spiral ganglion in the lower basal turn at W12 showing DAPI (A, blue), TUBB3 (B, red), S100B (C, green) and the merged image (D). (E–H) High-magnification view of the spiral ganglion. Arrows point to SGN cell bodies that are enwrapped by S100B+ satellite glial cells. (I–L) Deconvoluted confocal images of the spiral ganglion in the lower basal turn at W14 showing DAPI (I, blue), TUBB3 (J, red), S100B (K, green) and the merged image (L). (M–P) Deconvoluted confocal images of the spiral ganglion in the lower basal turn at W18 showing DAPI (M, blue), TUBB3 (N, red), S100B (O, green), and the merged image (P). (Q–V) High-magnification view of cell nuclei (DAPI) and S100B+ satellite glial cells within the spiral ganglion at W12 (Q–R), W14 (S–T) and W18 (U–V). Abbreviations: s, satellite glial cell; n, spiral ganglion neuron. Scale bar = 10 µm.
