3. A recent report shows that a novel cytokine (STC) can increase the abundance of stem cells in mice's bone marrow. Boss K thinks that purified human STC can be injected into donors prior to bone marrow harvest. Worker P managed to express lots of STC in E. Coli and STC is soluble in E. Coli extract. Boss K wants Worker P to make a polyclonal antibody in rabbits and then use the antibody to purify STC in a large quantity for clinical trial.
