    Figure 5. Recombinant Clec11a promotes osteogenesis in vitro and in vivo. (A and B) Osteogenic differentiation of stromal cells from femur bone marrow of wild-type mice. Vehicle or 10 ng/ml rClec11a were added to osteogenic culture conditions and alizarin red staining was assessed 14 days later to test whether Clec11a would promote osteogenesis (n = 3 independent experiments with duplicate cultures per treatment per experiment). (C) Representative microCT images of trabecular bone in the distal femur metaphysis of wild-type female mice treated with daily subcutaneous doses of Figure 5 continued on next page
