    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing a corneal epithelial cell population for the fabrication of corneal epithelial cell sheets for transplantation, the method comprising the steps of: (1) preparing a cell population containing corneal epithelial cells; (2) subjecting the cell population prepared in step (1) to magnetic-activated cell sorting and collecting CD200-negative/SSEA-4-positive cells; and (3) bringing the cells collected in step (2) into contact with a laminin selected from the group consisting of a laminin having an α3 chain, a laminin having an α4 chain and a laminin having an α5 chain, or an E8 fragment thereof, and collecting cells adherent thereto.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for controlling differentiation of pluripotent stem cells, which method comprises selecting a laminin or a fragment thereof based on binding affinity for the pluripotent stem cells and inducing differentiation of the pluripotent stem cells in the presence of the laminin or a fragment thereof. Here, the binding affinity for cells can be assessed by time-course observation of the survival rate and motility of the cells. According to the present invention, a cell population containing any desired proportion of differentiated cells can be produced from pluripotent stem cells in a simple manner. The cell population obtained by this production method is very useful for cell therapy-based treatment strategies for diseases.
