Hematopoietic stem cells have an enormous clinical importance for bone marrow transplantation, hematopoietic gene therapy, solid organ transplantation, and somatic tissue regeneration. In Hematopoietic Stem Cell Protocols, a group of leading stem-cell investigators describe in detail the key laboratory methods for investigating this critically important cell type. Varied in scope, and richly detailed with step-by-step instructions and notes on the pitfalls to be avoided, these readily reproducible protocols apply hematopoietic stem cells isolated from mouse and human tissues of both embryonic and adult origin. The many approaches described employ not only molecular and cell biology techniques, but also animal model systems, and include hematopoietic stem cell expansion protocols and methods for the purification and genetic modification of stem cells. Many of the protocols are contributed by those researchers who first developed and introduced the procedures to the scientific community.
Comprehensive and state-of-the-art, Hematopoietic Stem Cell Protocols offers both novice and experienced investigators alike an invaluable compendium of highly practical techniques for studying a wide variety of stem cell topics, including blood formation, blood-based disease, and such blood cancers as leukemia.
