Popis: Human calcitonin (hCT) has been reported to have a less hypocalcemizing effect on rats and to have a lower binding affinity for the receptor of mouse osteoclasts than salmon CT(sCT). In this study we comparatively examined the effect of hCT and sCT on osteoclastic bone-resorbing activity of unfractionated cells obtained from human giant cell tumor of bone and from rabbit and mouse long bones. We found that hCT had the same inhibitory effect as sCT on the bone-resorbing activity of human and rabbit osteoclastic cells, but a different one on that of mouse cells. These results indicate that the activity of drugs should be assayed using human cells if possible.
