| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Sendai virus (SeV) vectors can efficiently introduce foreign genes into various organs without genomic insertion of transgenes and are expected to be clinically applicable. We improved SeV vectors for transient expression so that the vectors can be easily removed from the cells at nonpermissive temperatures. We obtained insulin producing-cells from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) using SeV vectors. These vectors enabled an efficient production of differentiated cells from iPSCs.
