title: The frequency of bone marrow cells that bind erythropoietin.
abstract: The frequencies of rat and mouse bone marrow cells capable of binding erythropoietin were studied by both direct fluorescence and indirect immunofluorescence. We found that between 1-2% of the cells bound erythropoietin, that the binding was specific, and that the number of cells that bound erythropoietin was, in part, a function of the erythropoietic state of the donor animal. A statistical method for evaluating the data obtained is included.
