<p>A novel, physiologically active protein having the activity of promoting undifferentiated hemopoietic stem cell growth, a molecular weight of 18,000 ± 2,000 and the above N-terminal amino acid sequence; and a hemopoietic stem cell growth promoter containing the above protein as the active ingredient. This protein is useful as a stem cell growth promoter in the treatment of bone marrow suppression and bone marrow dysfunction and in the in vitro growth of peripheral vessel cells and bone marrow stem cells. In addition, it is useful also as a platelet growth promoter and a remedy for leukopenia.</p> |
