Functional and molecular characterisation of mammary side population cells

22 Oct 2002

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Breast cancer is thought to arise in mammary epithelial stem cells. However, the identity of these stem cells is unknown. METHODS: Studies in the haematopoetic and muscle systems show that stem cells have the ability to efflux the dye Hoechst 33342. Cells with this phenotype are referred to as the side population (SP). We have adapted the techniques from the haematopoetic and muscle systems to look...
