Erratum to: Calcif Tissue Int (2010) 86:261–270 DOI 10.1007/s00223-010-9337-4

It has recently come to our attention that our original publication contains some incorrect information. We reported that murine recombinant Ciliary Neurotrophic Factor (CNTF) and murine Cardiotrophin-Like Cytokine (CLC) were used for our in vitro studies, but human CNTF and CLC were used. Recombinant murine CNTF and CLC are not commercially available.

To correct this error, the following changes are needed:

  1. 1.

    On page 262 the statement that “mCNTF, mCLC (R&D Systems), or mNP (Chemicon, Temecula, CA)” were used for our cell culture studies should read: “hCNTF, hCLC, or mNP (all from R&D Systems)”.

  2. 2.

    Later on the same page, the statement that “then 10 ng/ml mCNTF, mCLC, or mNP” were added should read: “then hCNTF, hCLC or mNP” were added.

  3. 3.

    Finally, on page 263 where we stated “Cells were treated with RANKL and M-CSF (R&D Systems) ±10 ng/ml mCNTF” should read: “Cells were treated with RANKL and M-CSF (R&D Systems) ±10 ng/ml hCNTF”.
