Abstract:
The present invention relates to a Bifidobacterium bifidum inducing regulatory T cells (Treg), a polysaccharide derived from Bifidobacterium bifidum, and a probiotic strain producing a polysaccharide and, more particularly, a polysaccharide containing β-1-6-glucan as an effective ingredient, a probiotic strain producing β-1-6-glucan, a food comprising the polysaccharide or strain as an effective ingredient for alleviation of immune disease or inflammatory disease, a therapeutic agent comprising the polysaccharide or strain as an effective ingredient for alleviation of immune disease or inflammatory disease, a method for preparing induced regulatory T cells (iTreg) by treatment with the polysaccharide or strain, and a cell therapy product for prevention or treatment of immune disease or inflammatory disease, comprising the induced regulatory T cells prepared by the method.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for inducing an inversion of normal blood coagulation factor VIII (F8) gene, a method for correcting an inversion of blood coagulation factor VIII gene in which the inversion has occurred, and a Hemophilia A patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cell in which the inversion is corrected, constructed using the same. The method of the present invention effectively reproduces the inversion of intron 1 and intron 22 of the F8 gene, which is responsible for the majority of severe hemophilia A, and thereby may be effectively used for studying the development mechanism of hemophilia A and as a research tool for screening therapeutic agents. The inversion-corrected induced pluripotent stem cell constructed according the method of the present invention enables an efficient and fundamental treatment for hemophilia A by restoring a genotype in which mutation has occurred to a wild type-like state, without limitation via normal gene or protein delivery.
