Mature primary osteoclasts were selected based on their morphology, using phase contrast optic system (Olympus IX70; 200 X) (a). In some experiments, it was performed further confirmation of the cell phenotype by immunofluorescence using antibody against calcitonin receptor (CTR) (confocal microscope Zeis LSM510; 200 X), a specific marker of osteoclasts (b), or by cytochemistry for tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) (TRAP kit, Sigma, USA; 200 X) (c)
