The developmental relationships between the different mammary epithelial cell lineages in the human mammary gland are not well defined. To characterize human breast epithelial cells (HBEC) with progenitor activity, we used flow cytometry and single cell sorting to analyze the distribution of cellular phenotypes in primary cultures of reduction mammoplasties and their associated ability to generate colonies in...
