Re: tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)

From:Roger Moretz <stamptrain@yahoo.com>

Kim:

Having just done this, I received a couple of very
good responses from the histonet.  One protocol came
from Hermina Borgerink, specifically modified for
osteoclasts, but I used it successfully for
histiocytes.  The reference she included was from J
Cell Biol 132: 195-210, 1996 (Erlebacher & Derynck). 
I also received a paper from a colleague in-house:  J
Histochem Cytochem 48: 219-227, 2000, Hayman, et al. 
Hope these help.  (P.S._check the archives for
Hermina's email--don't have it handy just now.)
