Competing Interests
Dr. Green is Associate Director of Cell Biology at Affymax, and has interests in the commercialization of EPO mimetics. Dr. Green's interest in, and contributions to this study are academically based; and do not relate to patented or patent- pending materials, products under development, or marketed products. (In addition, the Wojchowski laboratory does not receive Affymax research funding). No other competing interests exist. This does not alter the authors' adherence to all the PLoS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
