METHOD FOR EFFICIENT PRODUCTION OF MONOCYTE-DERIVED MULTIPOTENT CELL (MOMC)

摘要

The object is to provide a practical method that can produce an MOMC, which is a multipotent cell highly suitable for the cell transplantation for organ regeneration, efficiently and in a large quantity. It is found that an MOMC can be produced more efficiently by conducting the in vitro culture of a peripheral blood monocyte on a fibronectin in the presence of SDF-1. Thus, disclosed is a method for producing an MOMC by conducting the in vitro culture of a peripheral blood monocyte capable of expressing CD14 on a fibronectin, wherein the in vitro culture is carried out in the presence of SDF-1.
