Abstract

A carrier for cell culture comprising a carrier having a cationic group and polypeptide-modified portions formed on a surface of the carrier in a sea-island structure, and a carrier for cell culture comprising a water-containing gel comprising alginic acid, wherein a surface of the carrier is coated with collagen, and wherein the collagen is bound to a surface of the water-containing gel by means of chitosan.

Claims (7)

1. A carrier for cell culture in the form of a sheet comprising a water-containing gel layer, which comprises alginic acid or alginate and an intermediate layer of chitosan, wherein the intermediate layer of chitosan binds the alginic acid or alginate gel layer to a collagen layer, wherein the chitosan is formed from a 1-5% aqueous solution.

2. The carrier for cell culture according to claim 1 , wherein the water-containing gel contains calcium alginate gel or alginic acid/polylysine gel.

3. The carrier for cell culture according to claim 1 , wherein the water-containing gel is formed on a porous membrane.

4. A method for producing the carrier for cell culture according to claim 1 , which comprises the step of successively immersing the water-containing gel in the chitosan solution and then in a collagen solution.

5. A method for culturing cells, which comprises the step of allowing cells to form a cell layer on the carrier for cell culture according to claim 1 .

6. A cell culture obtained by the method according to claim 5 comprising said carrier for cell culture and said cell layer.

7. A method for producing a cell culture, which comprises a step of allowing cells to form a cell layer on a surface of the carrier for cell culture according to claim 1 and a step of solubilizing the water-containing gel comprising alginic acid or alginate.
