The β-amyloid precursor protein (APP) is a crucial pathogenic gene linked to Alzheimer's disease (AD). A human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line was generated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from a female with APP gene mutation utilizing non-integrative Sendai virus. The iPSC line exhibits high expression of pluripotency markers, retains the APP mutation, displays a normal karyotype, and has the ability to differentiate into normal teratoma tissue. This iPSC line represents a valuable cell model for investigating the pathological mechanisms and therapeutic strategies of AD.
