Abstract

Since the first mouse model of HSC transplantation was established in the 1950s, decades of study have made mouse HSC transplantation become a well-established experimental method for investigating the function of HSCs in various conditions and confirming the curative potential of HSCs in hematological malignancies or disorders. In this chapter, we briefly summarize several important considerations in choosing the suitable donor, recipient, and HSC source before initiating a mouse HSC transplantation experiment.
