Prestin-Dependence of Outer Hair Cell Survival and Partial Rescue of Outer Hair Cell Loss in Prestin (V499G/Y501H) Knockin Mice

A knockin (KI) mouse expressing mutated prestin (V499G/Y501H) (499 prestin) was created to study cochlear amplification. Recordings from isolated outer hair cells (OHC) in this mutant showed vastly reduced electromotility and, as a consequence, reduced hearing sensitivity. Although 499 prestin OHCs...
