We generated and characterized a rhesus macaque induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line using induced reprogramming of fibroblasts isolated from a rhesus macaque fetus. The fibroblasts were expanded and then reprogrammed using non-integrating Sendai virus technology. This line is available as riPSC05. The authenticity of riPSC05 was confirmed through the expression of pluripotent and self-renewal markers, in vitro-directed differentiation towards three germ layers (ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm), karyotyping, and STR analysis.
