| Research Abstract |
Introduction of four factors, which are called Yamanaka factors, could construct induced pluripotential stem (iPS) cells from somatic cells. In this study, we introduce these factors into Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells which are workhorse for biopharmaceutical production and investigated the characteristics of these CHO cells. By introducing of mouse Oct3/4, Klf4, and Sox2 factors, we constructed CHO cells which over -expressed these factors. The specific growth rate and morphology of constructed cells were not affected by introduced factors.
