We investigated the time course of hearing impairment and cellular infiltration into the inner ear after systemic sensitization of guinea Pigs with a single intradermal injection of bovine inner ear antigen (IEAg) in complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA). Lymphocytes and polymorphonucleocytes appeared mainly in the scala tympani on days 7 to 14, and in addition there was thickening and cellular infiltration of the round window membrane at day 14. These cellular infiltrations resolved after day 28. The auditory brain stem response thresholds from IEAg-sensitized animals were significantly elevated after day 7. Some sensitized animals (n = 5) had spontaneous remissions after day 28; however, the hearing thresholds did not completely recover. These results demonstrate that experimental autoimmune labyrinthitis can be induced by a single inoculation of IEAg-CFA and that remission, as evidenced by clearing of the cochlear cellular infiltration and improved hearing thresholds, can occur spontaneously.

To investigate the physiological role of substance P innervation (SPI) in the nasal mucosa from inhaled irritant macromolecules, SPI in the rat nasal mucosa was selectively stimulated with capsaicin and the degree of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) permeability across the nasal epithelium was evaluated by enzyme immunoassay or by histochemical electron microscopy. The serum level of HRP was reduced significantly in capsaicin-administered rats compared to control rats along the time course with quantitative analysis of the enzyme immunoassay. Control rats showed heavy permeation of HRP across the epithelium, but capsaicin-administered rats showed weak permeation of HRP across the epithelium with histochemical electron microscopy. The epithelial lining and its tight junctions were left intact as judged by electron microscopy. In conclusion, selective stimulation of SPI of the rat nasal mucosa with capsaicin decreased the epithelial absorption permeability to HRP without compromising the epithelial integrity. These findings imply that the physiological role of capsaicin-sensitive SPI in the rat mucosa is to protect the airway from inhaled irritant macromolecules.
