<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provides a method for expanding and increasing the survival of hematopoietic cell populations (groups comprising granulocytes, monocytes, erythrocytes, lymphocytes and platelets), to provide a method for prolonging viability of an organ for transplantation, and to provide a method for enhancing bioproduction. <P>SOLUTION: This method for inhibiting the apoptosis of hematopoietic cell populations with interleukin-1β-converting enzyme (ICE)/CED-3 family inhibitors (nucleic acids, antisense sequences, protease inhibitors). Thereby, the survival of the hematopoietic cell populations can be expanded or increased. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
