      Abstract

      Erythropoietin preparations exhibiting the same activity in the exhypoxic polycythemic mouse assay, which quantitates new red cell formation, differ from each other in their ability to stimulate heme synthesis and glucosamine incorporation in bone marrow cells in culture. This suggests that erythropoietin action may result from the separate stimulation by different factors of specific processes of erythroid differentiation.
