Immunolocalization of beta-lipotropin in the inner ear of the guinea pig.
The occurrence of beta-lipotropin (beta-LTH) immunoreactive material was investigated in the inner ear of newborn and juvenile guinea pigs by means of Sternberger's PAP technique. Unlike met5-enkephalin and endorphin, beta-LTH could not be found in the organ of Corti but was identified in the spiral ganglion and the neuroepithelium of the crista ampullaris.
