Abstract excerpt
Stimulation of the gp130 signaling pathway by IL-6 is known to contribute significantly to hematopoietic expansion in vitro, mostly in combination with other cytokines. In the present study we have investigated whether a similar effect can be observed also in vivo using short-term assays in which...
