Abstract
A method for modulating the rate of erythropoiesis in human hematopoietic progenitor cells. FRP is found to be an efficacious potentiator of, and inhibin a suppressor of, erythropoietin-induced differentiation. FRP and inhibin are shown to be functional antagonists of each other, and thus represent an effective means for modulating erythropoiesis in a number of disease states which are directly caused by or associated with an abnormal rate of erythropoiesis.
