name given to a family of engineered dual IL3 and G-CSF receptor agonists linked head-to-tail at their respective carboxy and amino termini (McWherter et al, 1999; Hood et al, 2001). One of the variants is myelopoietin-1. The chimaeric proteins efficiently bind to IL3 and G-CSF receptors and are potent stimulator of hematopoietic proliferation and differentiation (see: Leridistim).
MacVittie et al (2000) have reported that Myelopoietin stimulates multilineage hematopoietic recovery in a non-human primate model of radiation-induced myelosuppression. Myelopoietin-1 is able to prevent cell death by apoptosis in hematopoietic cells more effectively than native
