Research Abstract |
In order to generate safety induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells), two chromosome non-integration viral vectors infected to murine embryonic fibroblasts or human fibroblasts. However, I did not demonstrated successful reprogramming of any fibroblasts under culture conditions necessary for induction of iPS cells. In addition, I attempted to generate adenoviral vectors, which specifically expressed in undifferentiated state.
