title: Stimulation of platelet production in vivo by a factor in cell culture conditioned medium.
abstract: Injection of medium conditioned by a murine myelomonocytic leukaemic cell-line (WEHI-CM) stimulates platelet production in irradiated, bone marrow reconstituted mice. Media conditioned by the growth of normal bone marrow cells (BM-CM) or by a lymphoid leukaemia cell line had no effect on platelet production. However, the effect of WEHI-CM on platelet production was further enhanced when injected along with BM-CM, indicating that more than one factor may play a role in the regulation of megakaryocytopoiesis.
