Abstract
The side population (SP) assay has been utilized as a method for isolation and characterization of normal and cancer stem cells from a variety of tissues. However, the SP phenotype may not be a common property of all stem cells. This chapter reviews the principle and potential pitfalls of the SP assay with an emphasis on mammary gland SP cell analysis.Entities:
