The partial purification of mouse mammary gland stem cells (MaSCs) using combinatorial cell surface markers (Lin(-)CD24(+)CD29(h)CD49f(h)) has improved our understanding of their role in normal development and breast tumorigenesis. Despite the significant improvement in MaSC enrichment, there is presently no methodology that adequately isolates pure MaSCs. Seeking new markers of MaSCs, we characterized the stem-like properties and expression signature of label-retaining cells from the mammary gl ...[more]
