abstract = {The existing heterogeneity of the human hematopoietic stem
cell (HSC) compartment imposes significant challenges in
understanding their physiology and molecular constitution.
The hematopoietic system is hierarchically organized, with
HSCs at the apex, responsible for maintaining homeostasis by
ensuring a life-long supply of blood cells. HSCs are highly
potent but rare, making their pure isolation challenging. To
address this, flow-cytometry-based methods are commonly used
to isolate HSCs, bridging the gap between surface marker
expression and understanding their functional and molecular
properties. However, detailed methodology papers providing
practical guidance for the prospective isolation of distinct
human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC)
populations are rare, hindering reproducible applications
across different research groups. Here, we present a
comprehensive protocol for isolating multipotent long-term
repopulating HSCs (LT-HSCs) and define multipotent
progenitor populations (MPPs) from human mobilized
peripheral blood (mPB) after leukapheresis using
fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). By highlighting
the workflow, outlining critical considerations and
emphasizing recent advancements in the field, we provide an
extensive overview of FACS-based human HSC isolation. This
facilitates the enrichment of these rare cells for
downstream analysis and enables researchers to improve our
understanding of the heterogeneity within the HSC
compartment.},
