METHOD OF MANUFACTURING DIFFERENTIATED PLURIPOTENT STEM CELL

摘要

The present invention allows a TET1 protein to be more stably expressed in human pluripotent stem cells than in the past by, inter alia, substituting the second amino acid from the amino terminal of a TET1 protein with a different amino acid. Furthermore upon differentiation of said pluripotent stem cells, it is possible to quickly eliminate the expression of, inter alia, NANOG, which is an inhibitor of differentiation and promote the expression of factors related to differentiation by introducing a variant TET1 protein to a pluripotent stem cell. The present invention provides a method for manufacturing pluripotent stem cells with increased differentiation potential, and a substance that is useful to said method.
