摘要:
Disclosed are a therapeutic agent for muscular dystrophy employing pluripotent stem cells obtained from dental pulp and a method for preparation thereof. The therapeutic agent for muscular dystrophy comprises pluripotent stem cell-enriched human dental pulp-derived cells as the active ingredient, and is prepared by a method of preparation comprising the steps of: (a) adding dental pulp-derived cells contained in a dental pulp suspension, in a culture vessel containing feeder cells whose proliferative ability is suppressed, onto a membrane having micropores that can block feeder cells from passing therethrough and supported within the vessel in a manner that avoids direct contact of the lower side face thereof with the feeder cells, and culturing the dental pulp-derived cells on the membrane while preventing direct contact with the feeder cells, and (b) recovering the cells having grown on the membrane as the pluripotent stem cell-enriched human dental pulp-derived cells.
