:
In our in vitro studies, although EPO by itself did not induce MK colonies from FLC, it enhanced the proliferative activity of TPO Fujiki et al., Exp Hematol 2002
:
Moreover, the endogenous production of TPO by cultured CD34 ( + ) IL-6R ( - ) cells in the presence of Epo+SCF+IL-9 was ruled out by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction for TPO mRNA
Yamada et al., Cell Growth Differ 1998
:
Isoelectric focusing demonstrated that TPO induced fetal and adult Hb synthesis, whereas EPO induced embryonic, fetal, and adult Hb synthesis
