Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of identifying DNA encoding an osteoclast-specific or -related gene product. The method comprises hybridizing DNA with a stromal cell+, osteoclast+probe, or with cDNA or mRNA from an osteoclastoma, and with a stromal cell+, osteoclast-probe, or with cDNA or mRNA from stromal cells; and identifying DNA which hybridizes to the stromal cell+, osteoclast+probe, or to cDNA or mRNA from osteoclastoma, but not to the stromal cell+, osteoclast-probe, or to cDNA or mRNA from stromal cells.
