Hematopoietic Deficiencies in c‐mpl and TPO Knockout Mice
1 Jan 1998
Abstract excerpt
Thrombopoietin (TPO) is the primary regulatory of megakaryocyte (Meg) and platelet production. Its receptor, c-mpl, is a member of the cytokine receptor superfamily. Major insight into the physiological role of this receptor/ligand pair came from the study of mice carrying disrupted alleles of these two genes. Both TPO and c-mpl knockout mice are viable, but have a 90% reduction in platelet counts. Their...
