Generation of control human iPSC line INSTEMi001-A from PBMCs of a healthy Indian donor.

Human pluripotent stem cells serve as a robust model system to study disease pathogenesis in a dish and search for various targeted therapeutics. Collection of control lines from healthy individuals are essential for any study. Therefore, we have generated hiPSC line from a healthy male donor after episomal reprogramming of PBMCs. The generated line is pluripotent, had normal karyotype and has a potential of tri-lineage differentiation. The generated line would serve as control line of Asian origin from Indian population.
