Abstract
MUi028-A human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) line was generated from normal fetal skin fibroblasts using a non-integrative reprogramming method. Reprogramming factors OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, L-MYC, and LIN28, and TP53 shRNA in three episomal vectors were delivered by electroporation. The MUi028-A cell line had embryonic stem cell characteristics with consistent expression of specific pluripotency markers and the capability of in vitro differentiation into the three germ layers. This iPSC line can be used as a control to study disease mechanisms.
