This patent teaches that uteroferrin (placental Type V acid phosphatase) is a stimulator of hematopoietic stem cells. Uteroferrin is made during pregnancy and is associated with iron transport. The use of uteroferrin for hematopoiesis may be a potent new way of approaching the problem of neutropenia.
