Abstract
The present invention provides methods, improved cell culture medium and kits for promoting hematopoietic and mesenchymal stem and lineage-specific cell proliferation and differentiation by growth in the presence of angiotensinogen, angiotensin I (AI), AI analogues, AI fragments and analogues thereof, angiotensin II (AII), AII analogues, AII fragments or analogues thereof or AII AT2 type 2 receptor agonists, either alone or in combination with other growth factors and cytokines.
Claims6
A method of improved hematopoietic pluripotent progenitor cell transplantation, comprising in vivo contacting the hematopoietic pluripotent progenitor cells with an amount effective to improve hematopoietic pluripotent progenitor cell transplantation of angiotensin I1 (1-7) (SEQ ID NO:4).
A method of improved hematopoietic pluripotent progenitor cell transplantation, comprising ex vivo contacting the hematopoietic pluripotent progenitor cells with an amount effective to improve hematopoietic pluripotent progenitor cell transplantation of angiotensin I1 (1-7) (SEQ ID NO:4).
