We embarked on this study hypothesizing that breast cancer cell lines would contain analogous hierarchical differentiation programs to those found in primary breast tumors.; Keywords: 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine, colony-forming unit, dimethyl sulfoxide, epithelial-specific antigen, 5-fluorouracil, nonobese diabetic, phosphate-buffered saline, severe combined immunodeficient.; Springer Open. %[ 2018-10-11 %9 Text %~ Tufts Digital Library %W Institution
