General description

Erythropoietin (Epo) is a pleotropic cytokine that promotes erythropoiesis or proliferation and differentiation of red blood cell precursors. Epo is mainly produced by liver cells in fetal stages, by kidneys under hypoxic conditions; liver and brain also secrete Epo is less amounts. The red blood cell production is stimulated when Epo binds and activates the Epo receptor (EpoR) dimer. EpoR directly regulates the signalling by Jak2, PI3K, NF-κB, STAT5A and STAT5B. Epo also inhibits apoptosis of erythroid progenitors by downregulating Fas and FasL. The expression of Epo is under the control of the transcription factor hypoxia inducible factor (HIF). Erythropoietin exhibits disease-modifying effects in infectious diseases and chronic inflammatory disorders
Monoclonal Anti-Erythropoietin antibody specifically reacts with mouse Erythropoietin.

Immunogen

purified, CHO cell-derived recombinant mouse erythropoietin.

Application

Monoclonal Anti-Erythropoietin antibody is suitable for neutralization reactions.

Physical form

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in phosphate buffered saline with 5% trehalose.

The process of erythropoiesis in the fetal liver and adult bone marrow is regulated by the hormone erythropoietin (Epo), which is produced in the kidney at low levels under homeostatic conditions. Defects in Epo production result in severe anemia; use

The hormone erythropoietin (Epo) maintains red blood cell mass by promoting the survival, proliferation and differentiation of erythrocytic progenitors. Circulating Epo originates mainly from fibroblasts in the renal cortex. Epo production is controlled at the transcriptional level. Hypoxia attenuates the

Erythropoietin (EPO) is a multi-functional cytokine, which exerts erythropoietic effects but also carries anti-apoptotic and immune-modulatory activities upon binding to two distinct receptors which are expressed on erythroid, parenchymal and immune cells, respectively. Whereas EPO ameliorates hemolytic anemia in malaria

As the basic function of erythropoietin (Epo) is stimulation of red blood cell production, systemic overexpression of Epo results in erythrocytosis. The patho-physiological consequences of chronically elevated red blood cell counts have been studied in Epo overexpressing mice. Genetically modified

Erythropoietin (EPO) is the principal cytokine regulating erythropoiesis through its receptor, EPOR. Interestingly, EPORs are also found on immune cells with incompletely understood functions. Here, we show that EPO inhibits the induction of proinflammatory genes including tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α
