... glycerol. Glycerol administration characteristically modulated the immunoreactivity of the CD 15 epitope in the endolymphatic sac and the tectorial membrane (TM) and revealed the CD 15 epitope in the otoconia of the saccule, the stereocilia and the supporting cells of the ampullae. Our results suggest...
