Generation of an induced pluripotent stem cell line (KNIHi001-A) by reprogramming peripheral blood mononuclear cells isolated from a patient with Parkinson's disease
Abstract
Parkinson's disease is a degenerative brain disorder characterized by dopamine neuronal degeneration and dopamine transporter loss. In this study, we generated an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line, KNIHi001-A, from the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of a 76-year-old man with Parkinson's disease. The non-integrating Sendai virus was used to reprogram iPSCs. iPSCs exhibit pluripotent markers, a normal karyotype, viral clearance, and the ability to differentiate into the three germ layers.
