Thrombopoietin (TPO) is considered to be the primary growth factor for regulating megakaryopoiesis and thrombopoiesis. In this study we investigated the in vitro effect of TPO on relatively immature and mature CD34+ progenitor cells in cord blood. Cells were cultured in both liquid and semi-solid cultures containing 50 ng/ml TPO. The CD34+/CD45RA- and CD34+/CD38- subfractions in cord blood were both enriched for...
