Abstract excerpt
The mechanisms responsible for 5-fluorouracil (5FU)-induced rebound thrombocytosis are not completely understood. SI/SI(d) mice, which do not undergo rebound thrombocytosis in response to 5FU, provide a genetic approach to the study of this phenomenon. Recent reports by several groups that the SI locus encodes a protein known variably as stem cell factor (SCF), mast cell growth factor, or kit ligand, suggests the...
