Abstract
Methods and products for stimulating hematopoiesis, preventing low levels of hematopoietic cells and producing increased numbers of hematopoietic and mature blood cells are provided. The methods and products can be used both in vivo and in vitro. The methods involve administering an agent of Formula Iwherein m is an integer between 0 and 10, inclusive; A and A1 are L-amino acid residues such that the A in each repeating bracketed unit can be the same or a different amino acid residue; the C bonded to B is in the L-configuration; the bonds between A and N, A1 and C, and between A1 and N are peptide bonds; and each X1 and X2 is, independently, a hydroxyl group or a group capable of being hydrolyzed to a hydroxyl group in aqueous solution at physiological pH. The products include kits comprising the agent of Formula I.
