Abstract: Aspects and embodiments of the instant disclosure provide therapeutic methods and compositions comprising interleukin 12 (IL-12) useful for improving hematopoietic recovery HSCT transplantation in a subject. In particular, the instant disclosure provide exemplary methods and compositions comprising IL-12 promoted hematopoiesis and increased the recovery of peripheral blood cells and survival in lethally irradiated mice as effectively as a BMCT, indicating that rHuIL-12 therapy can to increase HSC engraftment following HSCT. We identified IL-12R?2 expressing cells in irradiated mouse bone marrow which are potential targets of IL-12. Administration of rMuIL-12 increased the number of IL-12R?2 expressing Lin? cells in mouse bone marrow, indicating that bone marrow HSCs and niche cells are the direct target of rMuIL-12 and that hematopoiesis-promoting activity of rMuIL-12 is mediated by IL-12 receptors on HSCs.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of exogenous interleukin-12 (IL-12) for increasing endogenous production of erythropoietin.
