ABSTRACT:
The invention provides methods for stimulating thrombocytopoiesis in a mammal comprising administering to the mammal an effective amount of modified C-reactive protein ("mCRP") or mutant protein expressing neo-CRP antigenicity. Methods for treating thrombocytopenia, and for promoting megakaryocyte growth and maturation in vitro are also provided. Kits and articles of manufacture are further provided which include mCRP or mutant protein expressing neo-CRP antigenicity.
