Interferon stimulated gene 15 (ISG15) is one of the most highly upregulated proteins in response to viral infection and is involved in numerous pathways with multiple mechanisms of actions. ISG15 deficiency has been reported to induce type I interferonopathy owing to defective negative regulation of IFN-I signalling as well as enhanced antiviral protection. Here, we have generated ISG15 knockout clones from human iPSCs, which provide useful cell resources to study mechanisms of ISG15 deficiency and gain more insight into the biological function of ISG15.
