In the evaluation, data of 4 individuals were analyzed, and the mean value and the standard deviation were calculated. As a result, according to the transplantation result of the “cell + cell transplantation device” (Example 4), the total area of blood vessels per field of view is 5871 ⁇ 1053 ⁇ m 2 and the number of blood vessels per field of view is 16 ⁇ 5.6. From the results of Example 2 and Example 4, it became clear that "new device for cell + cell transplantation” induces more new blood vessels than "device for only cell transplantation” (FIG. 20 and FIG. See Figure 21).

(1-1)生体親和性高分子
生体親和性とは、生体に接触した際に、長期的かつ慢性的な炎症反応などのような顕著な有害反応を惹起しないことを意味する。本発明で用いる生体親和性高分子は、生体に親和性を有するものであれば、生体内で分解されるか否かは特に限定されないが、生分解性高分子であることが好ましい。非生分解性材料として具体的には、ポリテトラフルオロエチレン(PTFE)、ポリウレタン、ポリプロピレン、ポリエステル、塩化ビニル、ポリカーボネート、アクリル、ステンレス、チタン、シリコーン、およびMPC(2-メタクリロイルオキシエチルホスホリルコリン)などが挙げられる。生分解性材料としては、具体的には、天然由来のペプチド、リコンビナントペプチドまたは化学合成ペプチドなどのポリペプチド(例えば、以下に説明するゼラチン等)、ポリ乳酸、ポリグリコール酸、乳酸・グリコール酸コポリマー(PLGA)、ヒアルロン酸、グリコサミノグリカン、プロテオグリカン、コンドロイチン、セルロース、アガロース、カルボキシメチルセルロース、キチン、およびキトサンなどが挙げられる。上記の中でも、リコンビナントペプチドが特に好ましい。これら生体親和性高分子には細胞接着性を高める工夫がなされていてもよい。具体的には、「基材表面に対する細胞接着基質(フィブロネクチン、ビトロネクチン、ラミニン)や細胞接着配列(アミノ酸一文字表記で表される、RGD配列、LDV配列、REDV配列、YIGSR配列、PDSGR配列、RYVVLPR配列、LGTIPG配列、RNIAEIIKDI配列、IKVAV配列、LRE配列、DGEA配列、およびHAV配列)ペプチドによるコーティング」、「基材表面のアミノ化、カチオン化」、または「基材表面のプラズマ処理、コロナ放電による親水性処理」といった方法を使用できる。
生体親和性高分子は、架橋されているものでもよいし、架橋されていないものでもよいが、架橋されているものが好ましい。架橋されている生体親和性高分子を使用することにより、培地中で培養する際および生体に移植した際に瞬時に分解してしまうことを防ぐという効果が得られる。一般的な架橋方法としては、熱架橋、アルデヒド類(例えば、ホルムアルデヒド、グルタルアルデヒドなど)による架橋、縮合剤(カルボジイミド、シアナミドなど)による架橋、酵素架橋、光架橋、紫外線架橋、疎水性相互作用、水素結合、およびイオン性相互作用などが知られており、本発明においても上記の架橋方法を使用することができる。本発明で使用する架橋方法としては、さらに好ましくは熱架橋、紫外線架橋、または酵素架橋であり、特に好ましくは熱架橋である。
本発明で言うリコンビナントゼラチンとは、遺伝子組み換え技術により作られたゼラチン類似のアミノ酸配列を有するポリペプチドもしくは蛋白様物質を意味する。本発明で用いることができるリコンビナントゼラチンは、コラーゲンに特徴的なGly-X-Yで示される配列(XおよびYはそれぞれ独立にアミノ酸の何れかを示す)の繰り返しを有するものが好ましい。ここで、複数個のGly-X-Yはそれぞれ同一でも異なっていてもよい。好ましくは、細胞接着シグナルが一分子中に2配列以上含まれている。本発明で用いるリコンビナントゼラチンとしては、コラーゲンの部分アミノ酸配列に由来するアミノ酸配列を有するリコンビナントゼラチンを用いることができる。例えばEP1014176、米国特許6992172号、国際公開WO2004/85473、国際公開WO2008/103041等に記載のものを用いることができるが、これらに限定されるものではない。本発明で用いるリコンビナントゼラチンとして好ましいものは、以下の態様のリコンビナントゼラチンである。

の何れかである。
%配列同一性=[(同一残基数)/(アラインメント長)]×100
2つのアミノ酸配列における配列同一性は当業者に公知の任意の方法で決定することができ、BLAST((Basic Local Alignment Search Tool))プログラム(J.Mol.Biol.215:403-410,1990)等を使用して決定することができる。
本発明においては、上記した生体親和性高分子からなるブロック(塊)を使用することができる。
本発明における生体親和性高分子ブロックの形状は特に限定されるものではない。例えば、不定形、球状、粒子状(顆粒)、粉状、多孔質状、繊維状、紡錘状、扁平状およびシート状であり、好ましくは、不定形、球状、粒子状(顆粒)、粉状および多孔質状である。不定形とは、表面形状が均一でないもののことを示し、例えば、岩のような凹凸を有する物を示す。なお、上記の形状の例示はそれぞれ別個のものではなく、例えば、粒子状(顆粒)の下位概念の一例として不定形となる場合もある。
(式2)は、生体親和性高分子ブロック1g当たりのリジン量(モル等量)を示す。

(式3)は、1分子あたりの架橋数を示す。
吸水率=(w2-w1-w0)/w0
(式中、w0は、吸水前の材料の質量、w1は吸水後の空袋の質量、w2は吸水後の材料を含む袋全体の質量を示す。)
生体親和性高分子ブロック一つの大きさを上記の範囲内にすることにより、外部から細胞構造体の内部への栄養送達を良好にすることができる。なお、生体親和性高分子ブロック一つの大きさとは、複数個の生体親和性高分子ブロックの大きさの平均値が上記範囲にあることを意味するものではなく、複数個の生体親和性高分子ブロックを篩にかけて得られる、一つ一つの生体親和性高分子ブロックのサイズを意味するものである。
生体親和性高分子ブロックの製造方法は、特に限定されないが、例えば、生体親和性高分子を含有する固形物(生体親和性高分子の多孔質体など)を、粉砕機(ニューパワーミルなど)を用いて粉砕することにより、生体親和性高分子ブロックを得ることができる。生体親和性高分子を含有する固形物(多孔質体など)は、例えば、生体親和性高分子を含有する水溶液を凍結乾燥して得ることができる。
(a)溶液内で最も液温の高い部分の温度と溶液内で最も液温の低い部分の温度との差が2.5℃以下であり、かつ、溶液内で最も液温の高い部分の温度が溶媒の融点以下で、生体親和性高分子の溶液を、未凍結状態に冷却する工程、

(c)工程(b)で得られた凍結した生体親和性高分子を凍結乾燥する工程
を含む方法を挙げることができるが、上記方法に限定されるわけではない。
細胞構造体は、上記した複数個の生体親和性高分子ブロックと、少なくとも一種の複数個の細胞とを含み、複数個の上記細胞の隙間に、少なくとも1個の上記高分子ブロックが配置されている細胞構造体である。上記した生体親和性高分子ブロックと上記した細胞とを用いて、複数個の細胞の隙間に複数個の高分子ブロックをモザイク状に3次元的に配置させることによって、生体親和性高分子ブロックと細胞とがモザイク状に3次元配置されることにより、構造体中で細胞が均一に存在する細胞3次元構造体が形成され、物質透過能を有することとなる。
細胞構造体は、生体親和性高分子ブロックと、少なくとも一種類の細胞とを混合することによって製造することができる。より具体的には、細胞構造体は、生体親和性高分子ブロック(生体親和性高分子からなる塊)と、細胞とを交互に配置することにより製造できる。なお、交互とは、完全な交互を意味するものではなく、例えば、生体親和性高分子ブロックと細胞とが混合された状態を意味する。製造方法は特に限定されないが、好ましくは高分子ブロックを形成したのち、細胞を播種する方法である。具体的には、生体親和性高分子ブロックと細胞含有培養液との混合物をインキュベートすることによって、細胞構造体を製造することができる。例えば、容器中、容器に保持される液体中で、細胞と、予め作製した生体親和性高分子ブロックをモザイク状に配置する。配置の手段としては、自然凝集、自然落下、遠心、攪拌を用いることで、細胞と生体親和性高分子ブロックからなるモザイク状の配列形成を、促進、制御することが好ましい。
本明細書において、免疫隔離膜は免疫隔離のために用いられる膜を意味する。
免疫隔離は免疫拒絶反応の防止方法である。一般的には、免疫隔離は移植の際のレシピエントの免疫拒絶反応を防止する方法の一つである。ここで、免疫拒絶反応は、移植される細胞構造体に対するレシピエントの拒絶反応である。免疫隔離により、レシピエントの免疫拒絶反応から細胞構造体が隔離される。免疫拒絶反応としては、細胞性免疫応答によるものおよび液性免疫応答によるものが挙げられる。

多孔質膜の製造方法は、上述の構造の多孔質膜が形成できる限り、特に限定されず、通常のポリマー膜形成方法をいずれも用いることができる。ポリマー膜形成方法としては延伸法および流延法などが挙げられる。
例えば、流延法においては、製膜原液に用いる溶媒の種類および量や流延後の乾燥方法を調節することにより上述の構造を有する多孔質膜を作製することができる。

底面厚さ3mm、直径51mm、側面厚さ8mm、高さ25mmのポリテトラフルオロエチレン(PTFE)製円筒カップ状容器を用意した。円筒カップは曲面を側面としたとき、側面は8mmのPTFEで閉鎖されており、底面(平板の円形状)も3mmのPTFEで閉鎖されている。一方、上面は開放された形をしている。よって、円筒カップの内径は43mmになっている。以後、この容器のことをPTFE厚・円筒形容器と呼称する。
厚さ1mm、直径47mmのアルミ製円筒カップ状容器を用意した。円筒カップは曲面を側面としたとき、側面は1mmのアルミで閉鎖されており、底面(平板の円形状)も1mmのアルミで閉鎖されている。一方、上面は開放された形をしている。また、側面の内部にのみ、肉厚1mmのテフロン(登録商標)を均一に敷き詰め、結果として円筒カップの内径は45mmになっている。また、この容器の底面にはアルミの外に2.2mmの硝子板を接合した状態にしておく。以後、この容器のことをアルミ硝子・円筒形容器と呼称する。
PTFE厚・円筒形容器またはアルミ硝子板・円筒形容器にCBE3水溶液を流し込み、真空凍結乾燥機(TF5-85ATNNN:宝製作所)内で冷却棚板を用いて底面からCBE3水溶液を冷却した。この際の容器、CBE3水溶液の最終濃度、液量、および棚板温度の設定の組み合わせは、以下に記載の通りで用意した。

参考例2で得られた条件Aおよび条件BのCBE3多孔質体をニューパワーミル(大阪ケミカル、ニューパワーミルPM-2005)で粉砕した。粉砕は、最大回転数で1分間×5回、計5分間の粉砕で行った。得られた粉砕物について、ステンレス製ふるいでサイズ分けし、25~53μm、53~106μm、106~180μmの未架橋ブロックを得た。その後、減圧下160℃で熱架橋(架橋時間は8時間、16時間、24時間、48時間、72時間、96時間の6種類を実施した)を施して、生体親和性高分子ブロック(CBE3ブロック)を得た。
タップ密度は、ある体積にどれくらいのブロックを密に充填できるかを表す値であり、値が小さいほど、密に充填できない、すなわちブロックの構造が複雑であると言える。タップ密度は、以下のように測定した。まず、ロートの先にキャップ(直径6mm、長さ21.8mmの円筒状:容量0.616cm3)が付いたものを用意し、キャップのみの質量を測定した。その後、ロートにキャップを付け、ブロックがキャップに溜まるようにロートから流し込んだ。十分量のブロックを入れた後、キャップ部分を200回、机などの硬いところにたたきつけ、ロートをはずし、スパチュラですりきりにした。このキャップにすりきり一杯入った状態で質量を測定した。キャップのみの質量との差からブロックのみの質量を算出し、キャップの体積で割ることで、タップ密度を求めた。
その結果、参考例3の生体親和性高分子ブロックのタップ密度は98mg/cm3であった。
参考例3で架橋したブロックの架橋度(1分子当たりの架橋数)を算出した。測定はTNBS(2,4,6-トリニトロベンゼンスルホン酸)法を用いた。
<サンプル調製>

吸水率=(w2-w1-w0)/w0
(式中、w0は、吸水前の材料の質量、w1は吸水後の空袋の質量、w2は吸水後の材料を含む袋全体の質量を示す。)

<多孔質膜の作製>
ポリスルホン(ソルベイ社製P3500)15質量部、ポリビニルピロリドン(日本触媒社製K-30)15質量部、塩化リチウム1質量部、および水2質量部をN-メチル-2-ピロリドン67質量部に溶解して製膜原液を得た。この製膜原液をPET(ポリエチレンテレフタレート)フィルム表面に乾燥厚み50μmとなるようなウェット膜厚で流延した。上記流延した液膜表面に30℃、相対湿度80%RHに調節した空気を2m/秒で5秒間当てた。その後直ちに水を満たした65℃の凝固液槽に浸漬した。PETフィルムを剥離して多孔質膜を得た。その後、80℃のジエチレングリコール浴に120秒間つけ、その後純水で洗浄し、乾燥厚み50μmの多孔質膜を得た。この多孔質膜を免疫隔離膜とした。
バブルポイントは、パームポロメータ(西華産業製 CFE-1200AEX)を用いた細孔径分布測定試験において、GALWICK(Porous Materials,Inc社製)に完全に濡らした膜のサンプルに対して空気圧を5cm3/分で増大させて評価した。
参考例8の多孔質膜のバブルポイントは0.58kg/cm2であった。
多孔質膜の厚みを膜断面のSEM撮影写真を用いて測定した。
多孔質膜の厚み方向の孔径の比較を、膜断面のSEM撮影写真を膜の厚み方向に20分割したときの19本の分割線における孔径の比較により行なった。分割線と交差するまたは接する孔を連続して50個以上選択し、それぞれの孔径を測定し、平均値を算出して平均孔径とする。ここで、孔径は、選択された孔が分割線と交差する部分の長さではなく、膜断面のSEM撮影写真からデジタイザーで孔をなぞり面積を算出し、得られた面積を真円の面積として算出される直径を用いる。このとき、孔が大きく、50個以上選択できない分割線については、膜断面を得るSEM撮影写真の視野を広げて50個測定するものとする。得られた平均孔径を分割線ごとで比較することにより膜の厚み方向の孔径の比較を行なった。そのとき最も小さな平均孔径を緻密部位の平均孔径とした。
