Provided is a cell culture method comprising the step of culturing cells using a medium containing a laminin fragment having integrin binding activity, the method not comprising the step of coating a culture vessel with a laminin or a laminin fragment before seeding the cells in the culture vessel. The cell culture method of the present invention uses a smaller amount of a laminin fragment and still achieves a comparable culture efficiency as compared with the conventional cell culture method that uses a culture vessel precoated with a laminin or a laminin fragment.
