Abstract:
Disease-associated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) established from patients are now widely used for disease modeling. They can provide an unlimited source of hematopoietic cells that carry the patients' genetic background, making them advantageous for modeling immunological disorders. To obtain functional immune cells from human iPSCs, we have developed a differentiation system that generates immortalized myeloid cells including neutrophils and monocytic cells. By using this strategy, we have established in vitro models of many immunological disorders. In this review, we focus on autoinflammatory disorders. These models have proven useful for genetic diagnosis and elucidation of the disease mechanism.
