Neomycin/bovine serum albumin/gold was used as a probe to detect the binding sites of aminoglycosides on the thin sections of the cochlea embedded in Spurr. The binding sites were mainly located on the stereocilia, the cuticular plate of hair cells, the head plates of Deiters' cells, fibrous structures in pillar cells, in the spiral limbus and tectorial membrane and basilar membrane, plasma membranes, mitochondria and the chromatin of various kinds of cells. Triphosphoinositide, acidic glycosaminoglycans, and RNA were considered to be responsible for the binding activity.
