The MUSIe002-A cell line was established from in vitro fertilization of human sperm and oocytes donated for research with informed consent. This cell line exhibited normal human embryonic stem cell (hESC) characteristics, including typical cell morphology, expression of all pluripotent stem cell markers, and potential to differentiate into three germ layers. A karyotyping analysis revealed 46 XY chromosome and cells that did not have mycoplasma contamination. MUSIe002-A represents a valuable unlimited cell source and is of potential interest for human in vitro stem cell based-models, genetic modifications, and stem cell-based therapy of human disease.
