Abstract
Provided is a method of generating iPS cells. Specifically, provided is a method of generating iPS cells having a rearranged γδ-TCR gene. Also provided is a cell population including the generated iPS cells. The method includes stimulating collected blood cells with IL-2 and a bisphosphonate, and then introducing cell reprogramming factors through use of a Sendai virus (SeV) vector. According to the method of the present invention, iPS cells having a rearranged γδ-TCR gene can be effectively generated. In particular, the method may be free of a step of treating the blood cells with an antibody before the step of stimulating blood cells with any one kind or a plurality of kinds of interleukins selected from IL-2, IL-15, and IL-23, and a bisphosphonate. In addition, iPS cells generated by the method of the present invention can be differentiated into desired cells by differentiation induction treatment.
