From the reviews:"This book provides a unique and comprehensive resource of protocols for the genetic modification of various hematopoietic cell types and up-to-date procedures for molecular and systemic monitoring. … This book is a great help for the design of excellent research in basic hematology, oncology, genetics, and immunology, and also promote the implementation of investigator-driven clinical studies using gene-modified hematopoietic cells. The book represents an outstanding work, which should not be missed in all biomedical research laboratories dealing with gene therapy of hematopoietic cells." (C.

Altaner, Neoplasma, April, 2009)“Haematopoietic stem cells are attractive targets for gene therapy. … Each chapter provides a brief review of the area, followed by a step-by-step guide to undertaking experiments and includes details of reagents required and a list of useful notes or comments of issues that may arise. Comprehensive reference citations provide sources of further information when required. The book should provide a road map for researchers, clinical investigators and regulators involved in modifying haematopoietic cells.”­­­ (Waseem Qasim, Human Genetics, Vol. 128, May, 2010)
