  • Title: Experimental autoimmune hearing loss.
    Author: Billings P.
    Journal: J Clin Invest; 2004 Apr; 113(8):1114-7. PubMed ID: 15085190.
    Abstract:
    Understanding of autoimmune sensorineural hearing loss (ASNHL) has been hindered by the inaccessibility of the inner ear to biopsy and the lack of workable animal models. A report in this issue of the JCI describes a mouse model of CD4(+) T cell-mediated ASNHL induced by immunization with peptides from the inner ear-specific proteins cochlin and beta-tectorin.
