This patent provides variants of interleukin 3 that are useful for the expansion of stem cells in general, and specifically hematopoietic stem cells.
These stem cells may be expanded for a variety of uses including for autologous stem cell transplantation.
When methods of inducing hematopoietic stem cell differentiation into other types of tissues are figured out, this patent will be invaluable.
