Publisher's Synopsis
With over 300 colour plates selected from thousands of blood films, cytospin preparations, conventional histological sections, and immuno-stained sections, this atlas provides a guide to normal mouse haematopoietic cells and tissues in comparison with pathological material. Developmental morphology, stages of differentiation, reactions to stimuli, abnormalities in mutant transgenic and gene knockout animals, and the wide range of tumour types that arise in the haematopoietic system are illustrated and described in a manner designed to facilitate recognition of pathological conditions.
