Abstract excerpt
In the present study we investigated the proliferative response of megakaryocyte progenitor cells (CFU-MK) derived from peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) collections of patients with haematological malignancies and normal donors. Highly purified CD34+ cells and mononuclear cell fractions were assayed in the presence of recombinant interleukin-3 (IL-3) and pegylated-recombinant human megakaryocyte growth and...
