Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides a method of producing a sheet-like pancreatic islet, comprising culturing an isolated pancreatic islet in a culture vessel, wherein a polypeptide comprising an EC1 domain of E-cadherin and having a binding ability to said E-cadherin is fixed on or applied to a surface of a solid phase, while being adhered to the solid phase surface for a period sufficient for the pancreatic islet to take a sheet-like form.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of producing a sheet-like pancreatic islet, comprising: (i) preparing an isolated pancreatic islet of 200 microns or more in diameter without trypsin; (ii) plating the prepared isolated pancreatic islet of (i) onto a coated surface of a sold phase of a culture vessel, wherein the coated surface comprises a polypeptide comprising an EC1 domain of E-cadherin and having a binding ability to the E-cadherin fixed on or applied to the surface of the solid phase of the culture vessel, wherein the polypeptide is a fusion polypeptide comprising an extracellular domain of E-cadherin and an Fc region of immunoglobulin; and (iii) culturing the plated pancreatic islet of (ii) for about 6 days to 8 weeks to allow the isolated pancreatic islet to spread over the coated solid phase surface to produce a sheet of pancreatic islet, wherein the sheet of pancreatic islet shows a pancreatic islet function equal to or not less than that of a pancreatic islet cultured on a non-coated surface of the solid phase of the culture vessel. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the plated isolated pancreatic islet is cultured for about 10 days to 8 weeks.
