It is intended to provide a technique of constructing an erythropoietin-producing organoid with the use of mesenchymal stem cells originating in a mammal. A method of constructing an erythropoietin-producing organoid (organ-like structure) precursor which comprises transplanting mesenchymal stem cells originating in a mammal into a fetus within a pregnant mammalian host or a fetus separated from a pregnant mammalian host to thereby induce the differentiation of the mesenchymal stem cells. In particular, the mesenchymal stem cells are transplanted at the nephrogenous site of the fetus and the transplantation is carried out when the immune system of the host is still in the immunological tolerance stage.
