ABSTRACT:
New therapies for treating blood platelet disorders based on the megapoietin gene and protein are described. Additional utilities for megapoietin such as increasing the storage life of platelet and whole blood preparations, a means for selectively targeting therapeutic or imaging agents to arterial clots, and a means for selectively stimulating platelet production from megakaryocytes in vivo and in vitro (e.g., as a source of platelets for transplantation) and to stimulate stem cell growth are also described.
