Molecular analysis of the erythropoietin receptor system in patients with polycythaemia vera
1 Dec 1994
Abstract excerpt
Erythropoietin (EPO) is a potent regulator of the viability, proliferation and differentiation of erythroid progenitor cells. Its effect is mediated by binding to the erythropoietin receptor (EPO-R), a member of a new cytokine receptor family.
