Provided is a method for inducing T cells for a cell-based immunotherapy, which comprises the steps of: (1) providing human pluripotent stem cells bearing a T cell receptor specific for a desired antigen, and (2) inducing T cell progenitors or mature T cells from the pluripotent stem cells of step (1). Especially, a method for inducing T cells for a cell-based immunotherapy from cells of a person who is not the subject to be treated by the cell-based immunotherapy. The method provided herein may further comprise a step of co-culturing the T cell progenitors or mature T cells induced from the pluripotent stem cells with the lymphocytes of the subject to be treated by the cell based immunotherapy to verify that the T cells are not allogenicaly reactive against the subject.
