ABSTRACT:
A class of murine monoclonal antibodies that is capable of stimulating megakaryocytopoiesis in vitro has been raised against human megakaryocytic cells. The monoclonal antibody BAH-1 specifically recognizes and demonstrates agonist activity against the c-Mpl receptor on the megakaryocytic cell surface. In therapeutic applications, the BAH-1 and M4 monoclonal antibodies identified to date and similar antibodies (or active portions and chimeric combinations thereof) can stimulate proliferation of primary bone marrow megakaryocytes. Thus, the antibodies of the invention can be used to prepare a composition for treating, e.g., thrombocytopenia. A typical composition comprises a therapeutically effective amount of the BAH-1 monoclonal antibody in association with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier vehicle.
