Abstract excerpt

Thrombopoietin (TPO) has been reported to stimulate erythropoiesis, but the stimulatory mechanism has not been defined. To address this issue, we performed serum-free cell-culture experiments with recombinant human TPO and purified human progenitor cells. We found that TPO alone was able to stimulate the megakaryocyte colony formation in serum-free cultures, but erythroid colonies were never observed. Only in the...
