Provided are a composition for
cell transplant and a method for
cell transplant, both of which enable a
myocardial tissue to favorably retain cardiac myocytes and / or
cardiac progenitors and can improve the persistence and proliferation of transplanted cells. The composition for
cell transplant of the present invention is a composition for cell transplant, containing cells and an
aqueous solution containing a
protein (A), the cells including a
cardiac myocyte and / or a cardiac
progenitor, the
protein (A) having a degree of hydrophobicity of 0.2 to 1.2, the
protein (A) containing a
polypeptide chain (Y) and / or a
polypeptide chain (Y′), the protein (A) containing 1 to 100 polypeptide chains as a total of the
polypeptide chain (Y) and the polypeptide chain (Y′), the polypeptide chain (Y) being a polypeptide chain having 2 to 100 continuous
amino acid sequences (X), the
amino acid sequence (X) having any one of a VPGVG sequence (1) corresponding to an
amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, a GVGVP sequence (2) corresponding to an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2, a GPP sequence, a GAP sequence, and a GAHGPAGPK sequence (3) corresponding to an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3, the polypeptide chain (Y′) being a polypeptide chain having a structure in which 0.1 to 5% amino acid residues in the polypeptide chain (Y) are replaced by a
lysine residue and / or an
arginine residue and including 1 to 100 residues as a total of the
lysine residue and the
arginine residue.
