METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF REPROGRAMMED CELL USING CHROMOSOMALLY UNINTEGRATED VIRUS VECTOR

摘要

Disclosed is a vector for producing an ES-like cell having no foreign gene integrated into the chromosome thereof conveniently and efficiently. Also disclosed is a method for producing an ES-like cell from a somatic cell by using a chromosomally unintegrated virus vector. The ES-like cell produced by the method has no foreign gene integrated into the chromosome thereof. Therefore, the cell can be advantageously used for tests and studies, and has high possibility of eliminating the problem of immunological rejection or ethical problems in the treatment of diseases.
