PROTEIN-CONTAINING COMPONENT FOR INDUCING CELL RE-PROGRAMMING, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING PLURIPOTENT CELLS USING SAID COMPONENT, AND MEDIUM COMPRISING SAID COMPONENT

摘要

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a pluripotent cell that is very safe in regenerative medical treatment applications, and a manufacturing method therefor. The purpose of the present invention is also to provide a pluripotent cell with fewer safety concerns, particularly problems such as the malignant transformation of the cells or the presence of microbes in the cells, and a manufacturing method therefor. The present invention provides a method for manufacturing pluripotent cells from somatic cells. Said method comprises a process for bringing somatic cells into contact with a glycoprotein-containing component that can be obtained from fermentative microbes and is capable of inducing cell re-programming.
