Immunohistochemistry of synergistic effects of kanamycin and furosemide in the murine model

Adult CBA/CaJ mice were injected with large single dose of both kanamycin and furosemide in order to study hair cell lesion and macrophage recruitment within the cochlea.

Genetic and temporal aspects of protection by kanamycin against cochlear noise injury

Experiments explored the minimal kanamycin dosing regimen that renders protection against noise induced hearing loss in young CBA/J mice. We also tested the age-dependence of protection in CBA/J as well as the dependence of protection on a particular genetic background in experiments using young C57BL/6J and CBA/CaJ mice.
