Calvarial bone from osteopetrotic (ia) rats and normal littermates has been cultured in a chemically defined medium supplemented with homologous serum to test for the presence of inhibitors or the absence of promoters of bone resorption in mutant serum. In addition, the response of mutant and normal bone to parathyroid extract and hydrocortisone was tested in vitro. The results indicate that mutant and normal serum do not differ with respect to their ability to support bone resorption and that ia bone responds to hydrocortisone but not parathyroid extract in organ culture. These data indicate that the skeletal defect in ia rats is not humoral but cellular.
