METHOD FOR ISOLATING STEM/PRECURSOR CELL OF KIDNEY, STEM/PRECURSOR CELL OF KIDNEY AND THERAPEUTIC AGENT FOR KIDNEY DISEASE

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for noninvasively isolating stem/precursor cells of human kidney, the isolated stem/precursor cells of human kidney and a therapeutic agent for kidney diseases. PSOLUTION: The method is to isolate a dull-positive or negative fraction when initial culture cells of the cells included in urine of a kidney disease patient are dyed with Hoechst 33342. A medium for initial culture preferably contains a culture supernatant when mesenchymal cells of a mouse of accession number FERM AP-20769 are cultured in DMEM medium containing fetal calf serum.
