Establishment of PLAFMCi004-A induced pluripotent stem cells derived from PBMCs from a healthy individual.

ABSTRACT

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from a healthy male individual. PBMCs were reprogrammed into human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) using plasmids carrying the following reprogramming factors NANOG, LIN28, OCT4, SOX2, c-MYC, and KLF4. This cell line expressed pluripotency markers, exhibited the normal male karyotype (46, XY), and had the potential to differentiate into 3 germ layers, as confirmed by techniques such as flow cytometry. The iPSC obtained from a healthy individual can be used for organoids to reveal developmental mechanism of tissue and organ regeneration, stem cell therapy and drug screening.
