Administration of Mpl ligand or loss of p53 protects mice from lethal myelosuppression.
Survival of p53−/−mice (knockout [KO]; n = 22) and wild-type mice (WT C57BL/6J; n = 15) that were given 50 μg/kg of PEG-rmMGDF immediately after receiving 80 mg/kg carboplatin intravenously and 7.5 Gy TBI. Control groups of the same sizes were given carrier (1% normal mouse serum in PBS) instead of PEG-rmMGDF.
