<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for easily and efficiently culturing cells under being kept undifferentiated, in the absence of heterozoic-derived feeder cells or serum. <P>SOLUTION: It has been found that lectin, especially galectin, has the activity of inhibiting the differentiation of undifferentiated cells. A differentiation inhibitor with lectin, especially galectin, as the active ingredient is provided. Another version of the differentiation inhibitor with a nucleic acid encoding lectin, especially galectin, as the active ingredient is also provided. Besides, a method for inhibiting differentiation using lectin, and uses of lectin for inhibiting differentiation are provided. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
