Abstract
The present invention provides Sendai virus vectors in which genes that encode reprograming factors for inducing pluripotent stem cells are incorporated in a specific order, compositions comprising these vectors for gene delivery to be used in the induction of pluripotent stem cells, and uses thereof. Incorporation of the KLF gene, OCT gene, and SOX gene in a specific order into a single Sendai virus vector successfully and significantly increased the efficiency of pluripotent stem cell induction. Loading multiple reprogramming factors into a single vector can further increase the induction efficiency of pluripotent stem cells while reducing the number of necessary vectors.
