## Abstract Recombinant human granulocyte colonyβstimulating factor (rhGβCSF) and erythropoietin (rhEPO) were used to treat patients with aplastic anemia (AA). In terms of effects on erythrocyte recovery, the combined use of rhGβCSF and rhEPO showed a favorable response in 6 of 14 (42.9%) patients
## BACKGROUND AND METHODS. Nine patients with hormone-refractory metastatic prostatic adenocarcinoma and anemia were treated with recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEpo) at a median dose of 150 U/kg BW 3 times a week subcutaneously. Baseline hemoglobin (Hb) ranged from 70 to 116 g/L, and the stu
To evaluate the therapeutic potential of hematopoietic growth factors (HGFs) during immunosuppressive treatment (IST) of severe aplastic anemia (SAA), 38 patients with newly diagnosed SAA received IST alone (group I), or IST plus recombinant human erythropoietin and granulocyte-macrophage colony-sti
Immunoreactive serum erythropoietin (EPO) was measured in anemic and non-anemic patients with acquired non-severe aplastic anemia (AA; n = 22) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS; n = 31) receiving or not androgens to examine the effect of androgen therapy and anemia on EPO levels in these disorders.
The heterogeneity of hepatitis C virus (HCV) is due to the continuous and high replication rate, the low fidelity of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, and the immune surveillance of the host. Interleukin-12 (IL-12) plays a central role in mounting an effective cellular immune response directed towar
