Biological Activity

Description

TPO/Thrombopoietin Protein, Human (CHO, His), also called megakaryocyte growth and development factor, is a cytokine that regulates megakaryocyte and platelet production.

Background

Recombinant thrombopoietin reduced radiation- and chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia, enhanced platelet recovery after bone marrow transplantation and increased the number of megakaryocyte precursor cells in stem cell harvests. Injection of thrombopoietin into animals stimulates the number, size and ploidy of bone marrow megakaryocytes and increases the platelet count up to ten-fold[1]. Superphysiological amounts of Thrombopoietin/TPO (>100 ng/mL) are able to directly activate platelet aggregation in vitro. Thrombopoietin/TPO also has significant effects on platelet adhesion under flow. Low Thrombopoietin/TPO concentrations (001-1 ng/mL) accelerate firm platelet adhesion to von Willebrand factor and prevent de-attachment at higher flow rates[2].

Verified Bioactivity

The ED50 is typically 0.5-5 ng/mL as measured by MO7e human megakaryocytic leukemic cells in a cell proliferation assay.
