Cell culture expansion and alkaline phosphatase activity of CD36-deficient bone cells.

<p>MTT assay or cell counts was performed at day 1, 7 and 11 days post seeding in basal media for (A) MSC from bone marrow cells (BM) and (B) osteoblasts (OB) from bone fragments of WT and CD36KO mice. (C) Alkaline phosphatase activity was measured on MSC and OB after 7 days of culture. Data represent mean ± SEM of 5–9 independent experiments. Bonferroni post-test: **P<0.01, ***P<0.001.
