Publication number: 20230357715Abstract: Provided is a method for producing effector cells expressing a desired specificity determining region. In this method, material cells that have a cassette deck structure with a cassette tape gene comprising a gene encoding a marker protein in their genome, wherein the material cells can be differentiated into the effector cells, and wherein the marker protein can be expressed in the effector cells or progenitor cells thereof when the material cells are differentiated into the effector cells or progenitor cells thereof are provided first. The material cells are proliferated, the proliferated cells are differentiated into the effector cells, and then, the gene encoding the marker protein in the effector cells is exchanged with a gene encoding a protein that contribute the desired specificity.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2021Publication date: November 9, 2023Inventors: Hiroshi KAWAMOTO, Yasutoshi AGATA, Seiji NAGANO, Koji TERADA, Kyoko MASUDA, Kenta KONDO

Patent number: 11649311Abstract: There is provided a method for introducing a temperature-sensitive probe comprising a copolymer, which comprises a thermoresponsive unit and a fluorescent unit, into a cell, and the method using the copolymer further comprising a cationic unit as the temperature-sensitive probe, and the method comprising the step of mixing the copolymer with the cell in a solvent. The copolymer can be preferably used as a fluorescence temperature sensor which measures intracellular temperature since the copolymer has a cationic group and thus enters into a cell without using a special method.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2018Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignees: KIRIN HOLDINGS KABUSHIKI KAISHA, THE UNIVERSITY OF TOKYOInventors: Toshikazu Tsuji, Kumiko Ikado, Seiichi Uchiyama, Kyoko Kawamoto

Patent number: 11452697Abstract: An intracellular delivery vehicle of which surface is covered by a positive charge, an intracellular delivery complex in which a component or compound desired is loaded in the intracellular delivery vehicle, a temperature-sensitive probe comprising the intracellular delivery complex, and a method for measuring the intracellular temperature by the temperature-sensitive probe are disclosed. The intracellular delivery vehicle is useful on account of its capability of easily delivering the component or compound desired inside the cell without inhibiting cell proliferation.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2020Date of Patent: September 27, 2022Assignees: KIRIN HOLDINGS KABUSHIKI KAISHA, THE UNIVERSITY OF TOKYO, TOHOKU UNIVERSITYInventors: Toshikazu Tsuji, Kumiko Ikado, Sayuri Yamada, Seiichi Uchiyama, Kyoko Kawamoto, Hidetoshi Tokuyama, Kentaro Okano
