Human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line MUSIi020-A was generated from T cells isolated from peripheral blood of a healthy 37-year-old female and reprogrammed using episomal plasmid vectors. The established transgene-free MUSIi020-A, which retained a normal karyotype, displayed pluripotency as characterized by expression of pluripotency markers and by in vitro spontaneous differentiation toward three embryonic germ layers. This cell line may represent a valuable tool for studying T cell development and a potential cell source for cancer immunotherapy.
