Provided is a method for inducing T cells for a cell-based immunotherapy, comprising the steps of: (1) providing human pluripotent stem cells bearing genes encoding a T cell receptor specific for a desired antigen, and (2) inducing T cells from the pluripotent stem cells of step (1). The human pluripotent stem cells bearing genes encoding the desired antigen specific T cell receptor may be prepared by introducing genes encoding the desired antigen specific T cell receptor into pluripotent stem cells.
