Gene symbols, names, and cochlear expressions of the 84 immune-related genes examined by real-time RT-PCR array in this study.

The expressions of inflammatory and immune-related genes in the cochleae of 12-month-old relative to 6–7-week-old mice are tabulated. The expressions of 84 immune-related genes were analyzed by real-time RT-PCR array. As a result, 33 upregulated and 7 downregulated genes were detected with greater than a twofold or less than a 0.5-fold change, respectively, with a P-value <0.05 for significantly different expression levels between the 12-month-old and 6–7-week-old mice (n = 3, t-test).
