    Abstract:
    Ultrastructural localization of Na+,K(+)-ATPase was quantitatively investigated in the tympanic wall of rat cochlear duct by use of the protein A-gold method, using an affinity-purified antibody against the alpha-subunit of rat kidney Na+,K(+)-ATPase. A moderate number of gold particles were found on the basolateral membrane of the interdental cells of the spiral limbus. A small number of gold particles were found on the basolateral surfaces of the border cells and Hensen's cells. On the inner and outer sensory hair cells, however, the plasma membranes were rarely labeled by gold particles. The general pattern of labeling densities in cochlear structures determined here and in a previous communication from our laboratory shows good correlation with the distribution of Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity as previously estimated biochemically, cytochemically, and autoradiographically.
