Identification and characterization of cancer initiating cells from BRCA1 related mammary tumors using markers for normal mammary stem cells

<p>It is hypothesized that cancer stem cells arise either from normal stem cells or from progenitor cells that have gained the ability to self-renew. Here we determine whether mammary cancer stem cells can be isolated by using antibodies that have been used for the isolation of normal mammary...
