A human induced pluripotent cell (hiPSC) line, KSCBi012-A, was generated from a 40-year-old male individual using non-integrating episomal vectors expressing reprogramming factors. The generated hiPSCs were integration-free, expressed pluripotency markers, exhibited the potential for differentiation into three germ layers in vivo, and maintained the normal karyotype. This cell line can be used as a control for a disease model and is available from Korea National Stem Cell Bank.
