This volume highlights the molecular and cellular methods used in studying Chronic Myeloid Leukimia (CML) pathogenesis and stem cell biology. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
