By means of retroviral transduction using the four Yamanaka-factors OCT4, SOX2, KLF4 and c-MYC primary human amniotic fluid cells (AFCs) were reprogrammed into several iPSC lines. Pluripotency was confirmed both in vitro and in vivo. A comparative transcriptome analysis of the AF-derived iPSC line 41 and the human embryonic stem cell lines (H1 and H9) revealed a Pearson correlation of 0.953 and 0.941 respectively.
