Kelly et al. (Brevia, 20 July 2007, p. 337) questioned xenotransplant experiments supporting the cancer stem cell (CSC) hypothesis because they found a high frequency of leukemia-initiating cells (L-IC) in some transgenic mouse models. However, the CSC hypothesis depends on prospective purification of cells with tumor-initiating capacity, irrespective of frequency. Moreover, we found similar L-IC frequencies in genetically comparable leukemias using syngeneic or xenogeneic models.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kennedy, James A -- Barabe, Frederic -- Poeppl, Armando G -- Wang, Jean C Y -- Dick, John E -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2007 Dec 14;318(5857):1722; author reply 1722.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Division of Cell and Molecular Biology, University Health Network, Toronto, Canada.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18079385" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
