The Utility of Hematopoietic Colony-Forming Cell Assays in Drug Development

This series will describe the utility of in vitro hematopoietic assays at different stages in the drug development process to show how they can be used to examine potential drug targets, saving both time and money. It covers the advantages of hematopoietic in vitro assays for toxicity testing as well as for testing the efficacy of growth factor mimetics.
