The prototypic tissue-protective cytokine is EPO. Initially described as neuro-protective, it is beneficial in animal models of ischemic and other types of injury. Scientists had to overcome the notion that EPO had only erythropoietic actions, was only produced by the kidney, and that its receptor was only present in erythroid progenitor cells. The use of \u003ci\u003ein vitro\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ein vivo\u003c\/i\u003e disease models was essential to demonstrate the protective effects of EPO. Reproducible models will be needed for the further study of the mechanism of action of EPO and for the identification of other tissue-protective cytokines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In \u003ci\u003eTissue-Protective Cytokines: Methods and Protocols\u003c\/i\u003e, expert researchers in the field detail the key models that have been used to characterize the tissue-protective actions of cytokines.
