Abstract:
Human fetal foreskin fibroblasts (HFF1) were used to generate the iPSC line epiHFF1-B1 employing a combination of three episomal-based plasmids expressing OCT4, SOX2, NANOG, LIN28, c-MYC, and KLF4. Pluripotency was confirmed both in vivo and in vitro. The transcriptome profile of epiHFF1-B1 and the human embryonic stem cell line-H1 have a pearson correlation of 0.936.
