title: A new cytokine receptor superfamily.
abstract: The amino acid sequences of several, recently cloned cytokine receptors show significant homologies, primarily in their extracellular, ligand-binding domains. With one exception, their cognate cytokines mediate biological activities on a variety of hematopoietic cell types; thus we have designated the receptors as the hematopoietic receptor superfamily.
