A mouse platform to isolate murine long-term hematopoietic stem cells
Researchers in Prof. Irving Weissman's laboratory have produced a mouse to identify and isolate mouse long-term hematopoietic stem cells. The Hoxb5 was identified as a gene specifically expressed only in long-term hematopoietic stem cell (LT-HSCs) in mouse hematopoietic compartment by multi-step screening. By utilizing fluorescent proteins under the endogenouse expression control, LT-HSCs can be isolated.

Applications
- Use as a report to utilize multi-color flow cytometry to identify HSCs in mouse bone marrow.
Advantages
- To localize mouse LT-HSC's with a single fluorescent color.
