ABSTRACT:
An in vivo assay for selecting a candidate therapeutic for treating osteoporosis. A candidate reagent is administered to an IL-4 transgenic mammal whose cells contain a recombinant IL-4 coding sequence operably lined to a promoter sequence which is transcriptionally active in bone marrow cells. At the time the candidate reagent is first administered the IL-4 transgenic mammal is either symptomatic of, or asymptomatic of, an osteoporotic phenotype. The candidate reagent is selected as a candidate therapeutic for treating osteoporosis if either amelioration of, or delay in the onset of, the osteoporotic phenotype is observed following administration of the candidate reagent to the IL-4 transgenic mammal.
