(57) [Summary]nThe present invention relates to a pluripotent neural stem cell purified from the peripheral nervous system of a mammal and capable of differentiating into cells of the nervous system and cells other than the nervous system. These stem cells provide an available source for autologous transplantation into the CNS, PNS, and other damaged tissues. Further, the present invention provides a cell population, a composition and a kit containing the pluripotent neural stem cell of the present invention, and further treats a disease patient with cell loss using such a cell population, the composition and the kit. We also suggest that you do. Furthermore, a method and conditions for culturing the pluripotent neural stem cells of the present invention are also disclosed. |
