| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We induced Yamanaka four factors into healthy human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) with Sendai virus vector, and iPS cells were established. In this case, it was carried out according to iPS cells derived from fibroblasts which we have carried out in our department. We induced differentiation into iPSDCs by various methods. As a result, it became clear that it is most efficient to induce differentiation with cytokine cocktail. It was found that iPSDCs obtained thereby had sufficient function as antigen presenting cells.
Next, the CEA gene was introduced into this iPSDCs and its antitumor effect was evaluated with a virtual antigen and a human cancer cell line with a Cr release assay to confirm tumor antigen specific antitumor effect.
