Generation of a human induced pluripotent stem cell line from a 65-year old healthy female donor with Chinese Han genetic background

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were collected from a 65-year old healthy woman with Chinese Han genetic background. The PBMCs were reprogrammed with the human OKSM transcription factors using the non-integrating episomal vector system. The transgene-free iPSC showed pluripotency verified...

Description
Summary:Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were collected from a 65-year old healthy woman with Chinese Han genetic background. The PBMCs were reprogrammed with the human OKSM transcription factors using the non-integrating episomal vector system. The transgene-free iPSC showed pluripotency verified by immunocytochemistry for pluripotency markers and differentiated spontaneously toward the 3 germ layers in vitro. Furthermore, the iPSC line showed normal karyotype. The iPSC line can be used as control in disease mechanism studies.
