Abstract:
Understanding of autoimmune sensorineural hearing loss (ASNHL) has been hindered by the inaccessibility of the inner ear to biopsy and the lack of workable animal models. A report in this issue of the JCI describes a mouse model of CD4(+) T cell-mediated ASNHL induced by immunization with peptides from the inner ear-specific proteins cochlin and beta-tectorin.
