| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we evaluated feeder-free iPS cell culture condition for producing a knock- iPS cells, and evaluated optimal transfection conditions.Next, we established the knock-in iPS cells constitutively express a fluorescent protein. It was confirmed that the knock-in iPS cell clone expressed fluorescent protein even after differentiation induction. Furthermore, we succeeded to establish a knock-in iPS cells targeted for the hepatic differentiation marker gene. The established iPS cell could be useful to determine the optimal timing of hepatic cells for producing IPSC-liver bud toward clinical applications.
