Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are responsible for replenishing immune cells and reside in bone marrow (BM) niches, which provide all cellular and molecular components required for their lifelong maintenance and differentiation. Although HSCs have been extensively analyzed and characterized, their ex vivo expansion, which constitutes a promising approach for therapeutic development in regenerative medicine, remains challenging. Here, we describe an original in vitro system allowing to quantify by flow cytometry the differentiation of mouse HSCs into lineage-primed multipotent hematopoietic progenitors (MPPs) in a cytokine-supplemented feeder-free medium.
