Abstract excerpt
To probe osteoclast gene expression, we combined the techniques of cell microisolation and RT-PCR to develop a novel and sensitive method for the isolation and mRNA phenotyping of small numbers of authentic osteoclasts and spleen cell polykaryons. Using this method we report (1) direct evidence for the presence of calcitonin receptor mRNA in osteoclasts, (2) confirmation of the recent finding of osteopontin mRNA...
