Abstract
In this chapter, we provide a method to purify and culture embryonic melanocytic stem cells that express green fluorescent protein in a cell-type specific manner. Isolation of melanocytic lineage cell populations that are >98% pure is accomplished through the use of GFP-based fluorescence activated cell sorting. We also provide a method to culture the purified melanoblasts and to analyze their proliferation, apoptosis, and motility properties.
