Title:
CELL OF CARDIOMYOCYTE LINEAGE PRODUCED FROM HUMAN PLURIPOTENT STEM CELL
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2011050385
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provides human cell populations of the cardiomyocyte lineage.

The cells are obtained by causing cultures of pluripotent stem cells to differentiate in vitro, and then harvesting cells with certain phenotypic features. Differentiated cells bear cell surface and morphologic markers characteristic of cardiomyocytes, and a proportion of them undergo spontaneous periodic contraction. Highly enriched populations of cardiomyocytes and their replicating precursor cells, suitable for a variety of applications, such as drug screening and therapy for cardiac disease, can be obtained.
