Research Abstract |
Transplantation of cells expressing therapeutic protein is a promising way to supply such proteins for long time. Such gene-cell therapy would be a novel treatment for chronic or congenital disease. In this study, we could established primary mesenchymal stem cells with long-term expression of target protein by transformation using transposon. These cells kept expressing the target protein after differentiation. Moreover, we could show the possible method for controlling insertion site in transformation using DNA-binding protein.
