PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a stem cell bank that stores stem cells collected from an individual over a lifetime.SOLUTION: A reservoir of stem cells for usage of autologous transplant is produced by storing stem cells which are periodically collected over a lifetime of an individual. Herein, provision of the plurality of stem cells derived from individual includes various types of stem cell selected from a group consisting of a hematopoietic cell, a hematopoietic cell with which lineage is associated, a mesenchymal stem cell, an interstitial cell, a fibroblast, an endothelial precursor cell, a neural stem cell, a fat-derived stem cell, a mucous membrane-derived stem cell, a placenta-derived stem cell, an amniotic fluid stem cell, an umbilical blood-derived stem cell, an umbilical cord matrix-derived stem cell, a foreskin-derived stem cell, a heart stem cell and a mammary gland stem cell. A method further includes establishing an insurance program of a family by periodically collecting stem cells derived from members of a family, and allocating provision of the stem cells only to usage within the family.SELECTED DRAWING: None【課題】生涯にわたって個体から採取される幹細胞を保存する幹細胞バンクの提供。【解決手段】個人の生涯にわたって定期的に採取される幹細胞を保存することによって自己移植使用のための幹細胞のリザーバを作製する。ここで各個人由来の前記複数の幹細胞の供与が、造血系細胞、系列が関係付けられた造血系細胞、間葉幹細胞、間質細胞、線維芽細胞、内皮前駆細胞、神経幹細胞、脂肪由来の幹細胞、粘膜由来の幹細胞、胎盤由来の幹細胞、羊水幹細胞、臍帯血由来の幹細胞、臍帯マトリクス由来の幹細胞、包皮由来の幹細胞、心臓幹細胞及び乳腺幹細胞から成る群より選択される種々の類型の幹細胞を含む。家族の構成員由来の幹細胞を定期的に採取することによって家族の保険のプログラムを確立し、かつ前記幹細胞の供与を家族内のみの使用に割り当てることをさらに含む、方法。【選択図】なし
