METHOD FOR ISOLATING RENAL STEM/PROGENITOR CELL, RENAL STEM/PROGENITOR CELL AND THERAPEUTIC AGENT FOR RENAL DISEASE

摘要

It is intended to provide a method for noninvasively isolating a human renal stem/progenitor cell, an isolated renal stem/ progenitor cell, a therapeutic agent for renal disease, a mouse mesenchymal cell which can be used for isolating a human renal stem/progenitor cell and a culture supernatant of the same. A renal stem/progenitor cell is isolated by primarily culturing a cell contained in the urine of a patient with renal disease in a medium containing a mouse mesenchymal cell identified by the deposition number of FERM ABP-10865 or a culture supernatant of the same, staining the obtained primarily cultured cell with Hoechst 33342 and separating a weak-positive or negative fraction.
