PG - 83-94 LID - 10.1007/978-1-0716-1425-9_7 [doi] AB - Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) account for an extremely small percentage of total bone marrow cells; therefore, it is technically challenging to harvest a good quantity of BMSCs with good viability using fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). Here, we describe the methods to effectively isolate BMSCs for flow cytometry analyses and subsequent FACS. Use of transgenic reporter lines facilitates FACS-based isolation of BMSCs, aiding to uncover fundamental characteristics of these diverse cell populations.
