USE OF RESISTIN TO TREAT HEMATOPOIETIC DISORDERS

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of using a mammalian gene sequence and polypeptides encoded thereby to treat mammalian hematopoietic disorders. More specifically the present invention relates to methods of using compositions comprising at least one resistin agonist, resistin polynucleotide and/or resistin polypeptide for the prevention and/or treatment of mammalian hematopoietic disorders, including, but not limited to, anemia, leukemia, and hematopoietic conditions caused by bone marrow transplantation or chemo-/radiation therapy.
