Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide an approach of removing non-endocrine unintended cells coexisting with insulin-secreting cells obtained by the differentiation. The present invention relates to a method for producing an insulin-producing cell population, comprising the step of treating an insulin-producing cell population obtained by the differentiation from pluripotent stem cells with a PLK inhibitor.
Claims9
A method for producing an insulin-producing cell population comprising CHGA-negative cells at a proportion of 30% or less comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing an insulin-producing cell population, wherein the insulin producing cell population is produced from pluripotent stem cells,
- (b) contacting the population of (a) with a PLK inhibitor;
- and
- (c) obtaining an insulin-producing cell population comprising CHGA-negative cells at a proportion of 30% or less.
