Mouse Hematopoietic Stem Cell Modification and Labelling by Transduction and Tracking Posttransplantation

Methods Mol Biol. 2019:1940:129-142. doi: 10.1007/978-1-4939-9086-3_9.

Abstract

The tracking of the hematopoietic potential of genetically manipulated fluorescent hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) in the bone marrow (BM) allows the assessment of regulatory processes involved in the re-establishment of hematopoiesis posttransplant. Herein, we describe the means to assess the consequence of expressing specific genes in HSC on their engraftment potential posttransplant.

Keywords: Bone marrow transplantation; Hematopoietic stem cells; Lentiviral transduction.
