Abstract excerpt
Mpl(-/-) mice bearing the Plt3 or Plt4 mutations in the c-Myb gene exhibit thrombopoietin (TPO)-independent supraphysiological platelet production accompanied by excessive megakaryocytopoiesis and defective erythroid and lymphoid cell production. To better define the cellular basis for the thrombocytosis in these mice, we analyzed the production and characteristics of megakaryocytes and their progenitors....
