Fig. 5 (Right). Schematic diagrams illustrating cell production in sections of the stage 31 (A), 37 (B), 42 (C), 45 (D) and 47 (E) X. laevis inner ear that contain saccular epithelium (dashed circles) and the sensory ganglion (sg). (A) At early stages, BrdU-positive cells (red) are distributed throughout the entire epithelium of the stage 31 otic vesicle. (B-D) At stages 37 (A), 42 (B) and 45 (C), BrdU-positive cells are detected throughout the otic epithelium but appear restricted to specific regions such as the outer boundaries of the emerging saccular sensory epithelium and flanking the protrusions of the emerging horizontal canals (D). (E) In the stage 47 inner ear, BrdU-positive cells are distributed throughout the otic epithelium without a distinct trend toward localization in a particular region. Hematoxylin counterstain (blue).
