Megakaryocyte–erythroid progenitor cell
 | This article may be too technical for most readers to understand. (September 2015) |
The megakaryocyte–erythroid progenitor cell (or MEP, or hMEP to specify human[1]) is a cell that gives rise to megakaryocytes and erythrocytes.[2][3]
It is derived from the common myeloid progenitor.[4]
