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.
骨髓基质细胞(BMSCs)在骨髓细胞中所占比例极小;因此,使用荧光激活细胞分选(FACS)技术从骨髓中获取大量具有良好活力的 BMSCs 具有一定的技术挑战性。在这里,我们描述了用于流式细胞术分析和随后的 FACS 的有效分离 BMSCs 的方法。转基因报告系的使用有助于基于 FACS 的 BMSCs 分离,有助于揭示这些不同细胞群体的基本特征。
