JK-1, a useful erythroleukemic cell line model to study a controlled erythroid differentiation from progenitors to terminal erythropoiesis by Sylvain Metral, Sandrine Genetet, Benoît Gamain, Isabelle Mouro-Chanteloup

“…Then, using the PFI-1 inducer known to synchronously control the terminal differentiation of JK-1 cells, 5 precursor stages were obtained (ProE, Baso1-2, PolyC, OrthoC) and characterized via cell morphology, CD49a and Band3 markers. Enlarged phenotyping was carried out for the earlier phase, and expression kinetics of membrane proteins such as RhAG, RhD/CE, CD47, DARC and CD44 were performed on each stage of the terminal phase. …”
