A novel induction method that effectively produces platelets from platelet precursor cells (e.g., hemopoietic stem/precursor cells) is disclosed. The method includes culturing platelet precursor cells in a culture solution in which a composite membrane is immersed so that the platelet precursor cells differentiate into platelets, the composite membrane including a porous support membrane and a porous thin membrane, the porous thin membrane being stacked on at least one side of the porous support membrane.

Copolymer latex and process for producing the same

A copolymer latex obtained by emulsion-polymerization of 45 to 85% by weight of a conjugated diene monomer, 0.1 to 25% by weight of an ethylenically unsaturated acid monomer, 10 to 45% by weight of a vinyl-pyridine monomer and 0 to 30% by weight of another monomer copolymerizable with these monomers. The surface of the latex particles contains the carboxy groups in an amount of at least 0.01 milliequivalent per gram of the copolymer. An adhesive composition comprising the copolymer latex is useful for boding fibers, particularly polyester fibers, to rubber with a high adhesion strength.

Copolymer latex

An adhesive composition for bonding fibers to a rubber is made of an aqueous dispersion composed mainly of a resorcinol/formaldehyde resin and a rubbery vinylpyridine copolymer latex. Particles of the rubbery vinylpyridine copolymer latex having a weight-average particle size of at least 0.15 micron, provided when the weight-average particle size is less than 0.16 micron, the particles having a particle size of at least 0.18 micron amount to at least 5% by weight.
