Abstract excerpt
Long-term human marrow cultures form multi-nucleated cells (MNC) which express the osteoclast phenotype. Mononuclear precursors for these MNC can be identified and highly enriched. We tested early (bipotent) and late (unipotent) precursors of these MNC for expression of several osteoclast differentiation markers: 1) the osteoclast vitronectin receptor, identified by the 23c6 monoclonal antibody, 2) the...
