Cell dissociating agent and cell separation method

Abstract

The present invention provides a cell detachment agent for detaching a cell to be separated from a separation carrier bound to the cell to be separated, wherein the above-mentioned cell detachment agent contains a bindable ureido group-containing polymer having a side chain structure represented by the following formula (1) and having a separation carrier-binding site capable of binding to the above-mentioned separation carrier at a side chain or terminal thereof, and the above-mentioned bindable ureido group-containing polymer has an upper critical solution temperature (UCST) of 4 to 40° C.: —NH—(C═O)—NH2  (1)
