An Introduction to Characterizing Blood Diseases of the Post-Genomic Mouse

Donald Metcalf

In the words of Professor Donald Metcalf, the "father of hematopoietic cytokines":

"Nothing beats personal experience. For a researcher wishing to begin a logical and balanced hematological analysis of a novel mouse, this book will lead to the first important steps on the road to understanding. The procedures described are our current in-house ones that we have learned to rely on over the past forty years. They will permit an intelligent approach to the novel diseases to be encountered in the future, and lessons learned from these, in turn, will add to our basic fund of experience and technology."
