Canine Osteoblasts (CnOb) are isolated from canine bone and are cryopreserved at second passage. CnOb can be passaged at least 10 population doublings. The dog model provides a system for the study of bone remodeling agents such as osteoblast-stimulating bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs)1,2 and bisphosphonates3, as well as anti-remodeling agents4. Canine osteoblasts have been used in prospective bone regeneration models utilzing such 3-D bioactive scaffolds as polycaprolactone5.
