Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Notch signaling plays important roles in various tissue development, and its manupiration is useful for artificially inducing the differentiation from pluripotent cells into target cells. In this study, human D114 and JAG1 ligand-immobilized beads were prepared and we demonstrated that they showed T cell-inducing activity from hematopoietic progenitor cells. Further, we succeeded in developing a Dll4 ligand protein with superior activity to wild type by introducing a point mutation.
