Abstract
The expression of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptor was investigated in adult mouse utricles damaged by streptomycin sulfate using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). The nerve endings in the mouse utricles could be detected by the immunoreactivity of neurofilament by CLSM. In the utricles of control adult mice, little expression of FGF receptor could be detected by a method of double staining for FGF receptor and neurofilament immunoreactivities. However, the expression of FGF immunoreactivity increased in the nerve endings of the damaged utricles. This result suggests that FGF is probably related to the synaptic plasticity in the adult mouse utricles.
