Infection of erythroid cells by Friend spleen focus-forming virus (SFFV) leads to acute erythroid hyperplasia in mice, due to expression of its unique envelope glycoprotein, gp55. Erythroid cells expressing SFFV gp55 proliferate in the absence of their normal regulator, erythropoietin, because of the interaction among the viral envelope protein, the erythropoietin receptor, and a short form of the receptor...
