OBJECTIVE: In a previous study, we found increased plasma soluble receptor for interleukin-6 (sIL-6R) levels in patients with essential thrombocythemia (ET) that could promote megakaryopoiesis through IL-6 binding and further interaction with the signal transducer gp130. Here we have searched for the cell source of sIL-6R within mononuclear cells in these patients and the underlying abnormalities involved in its...
