Integration-free T cell-derived human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from a healthy individual: WT-iPSC1

Abstract

Expanded human T cells from a Japanese healthy male were used to generate integration-free induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) by exogenous expression of four reprogramming factors, OCT3/4, SOX2, cMYC, KLF4, using Sendai virus vector (SeVdp). The authenticity of established iPSC line, WT-iPSC1, was confirmed by the expressions of stem cell markers and the differentiation capability into three germ layers. WT-iPSC1 may be a useful cell resource as a normal control for the comparative study using disease-specific iPSCs.
