This article presents a nursing care plan and patient education plan for patients receiving recombinant human erythropoietin in the form of Epogen (Epoetin alfa). Eight nursing diagnoses and a standard and outcomes for patient education are included.
The emergence of the Epoetin alfa as an effective therapy in the treatment of the anemia of chronic renal failure has reemphasized the importance of nursing monitoring and intervention in the treatment of these patients. This article examines the role of nurses in monitoring and managing patients receiving Epoetin alfa and the development of medications, such as Epoetin alfa, with recombinant DNA technology.

Mouse chromosome segregating somatic cell hybrids were established between a mouse thymic leukemai cell line (GRSL) and Chinese hamster E36 cells. The GRSL cells specifically bound purified Rauscher leukemia virus gp70 while the E36 cells exhibited no binding. The hybrids selectively bound Ruascher gp70 depending on the presence of a mouse cellular gene for the ecotropic murine luekemia gp70 receptor. A syntenic relationship was observed between the DIP-3 chromosome marker (on chromosome 5) and the gp70 receptor in primary clones and subclones of these hybrids; this was confirmed by chromosome analysis. The involvement of H-2 in the binding of Rauscher MuLV gp70 could be ruled out, because discordancies of the receptor presence and H-2 absence as well as of the receptor absence and H-2 presence type could be observed. Our results indicate that the Rec-1 (replication ecotropic MuLV) gene of Gazdar et al. (4) may well be the receptor gene for the ecotropic murine leukemia virus.
Evidence is presented for the assignment of the gene for glyoxylase I to mouse chromosome 17 using mouse X Chinese hamster somatic cell hybrids. GLO I was not expressed concordantly with any known marker enzymes which represented 11 linkage groups. The presence of chromosome 17 and expression of GLO I were concordant in 31/31 clones. GLO I is thus linked to the H-2 histocompatibility locus in the mouse.
Somatic cell hybridization techniques were applied to gene linkage analysis in the laboratory mouse. Cells of an established line of Chinese hamster lung fibroblasts were fused with mouse embryo fibroblasts and with mouse peritoneal macrophages obtained from different inbred strains. From 3 hybridization experiments, 123 primary and secondary clones were isolated in HAT selective medium and 24 were back-selected in 8-azaguanine. Hybrid clones were characterized for the expression of 16 murine isozymes by starch, acrylamide, and Cellogel electrophoresis, and on the basis of segregation data, 3 syntenic associations could be made. Malate oxidoreductase decarboxylating (MOD) and mannose phosphate isomerase (MPI) segregated concordantly, confirming an established linkage relationship; adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (APRT) segregated concordantly with glutathione reductase (GR) which is known to be on chromosome 8; alpha-galactosidase was observed to be syntenic with hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT), and X-linked enzyme. All other isozymes examined segregated independently of one another.
