Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An immortalized sweat gland myoepithelial cell which expresses α-SMA and pan-cytokeratin and has a sphere forming ability after subculture at least 5 times. A method for producing immortalized sweat gland myoepithelial said method comprising: while culturing a cell structure, wherein sweat gland myoepithelial cells are exposed on a surface, in a state of being suspended in a medium, transferring an immortalizing gene into the cells; and then culturing the transgenic structure thus obtained in a state of being suspended in the medium to thereby obtain immortalized sweat gland myoepithelial cells.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of producing an immortalized sweat gland myoepithelial cell, comprising the steps of: culturing a population of sweat gland cells in a suspended state in a medium, to form a sphere in which sweat gland myoepithelial cells are exposed on a surface of the sphere; introducing an immortalizing gene into the sweat gland myoepithelial cells present in the sphere while culturing the sphere in a suspended state in a medium to obtain a transgenic sphere; and culturing the transgenic sphere in a suspended state in a medium to obtain an immortalized sweat gland myoepithelial cell, wherein the immortalizing gene is an hTERT gene, a SV40T (large T) antigen gene, and a SV40t (small t) antigen gene. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the immortalizing gene is comprised in a viral vector.
