Generation of iPSC from foetal fibroblast cells obtained from an abortus with Type-I tri-allelic variants

Abstract An integration free iPSC line was generated from fibroblast obtained from the skin of an aborted fetus in feeder free conditions using episomal based vectors expressing the pluripotency factors. The cell line generated was characterized and tested for pluripotency both in vitro and in vivo by teratoma formation and differentiation into defined lineages and brain organoids. Cell line reported here is shown to be mycoplasma free.
