Abstract excerpt
c-Fos, a component of the dimeric transcription factor AP-1, is necessary for osteoclast formation. To determine whether c-Fos can substitute for any or all of the stimuli needed for osteoclast induction, we infected osteoclast precursors with retroviral vectors expressing c-Fos or the Fos-related protein, Fra-1. The infected cells were incubated with or without osteoclast-inductive stimuli. Osteoclast formation...
