Abstract
A domain of erythropoietin (EPO), separate from the domain involved in red blood cell development, has been identified. This region of EPO has anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects. Use of a peptide sequence from this region provides the potential for an effective therapeutic without effects on erythropoiesis.Entities:
