Paul,
If you have not fixed with formalin you could do Acid Phosphatase (TRAP) for
osteoclasts, this is the enzyme histochemical method.  I can provide you the
method if you like.  I used a kit from Sigma, I hope someone is still
selling it.  There is also an antibody but I do not have experience with it.
