Abstract excerpt
The response of mice genetically unable to up-regulate GATA-1 expression (GATA-1(low) mice) to acute (phenylhydrazine [PHZ]-induced anemia) and chronic (in vivo treatment for 5 days with 10 U erythropoietin [EPO] per mouse) erythroid stimuli was investigated. Adult GATA-1(low) mice are profoundly thrombocytopenic (platelet counts [x 10(9)/L] 82.0 +/- 28.0 vs 840 +/- 170.0 of their control littermates, P <.001)...
