The Rh-negative type O blood group (O Rh-) is considered a universal donor for emergency blood transfusions. Due to the constant shortage of this rare blood group, the production of blood cells from iPSCs derived from the O Rh- donor could potentially serve as a limitless blood source for transfusions. In this report, we establish a MUSIi017-A iPSC line from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of a healthy donor with the O Rh- blood group. The established iPSC line exhibited a normal karyotype, showed identical STR compared to donor peripheral blood mononuclear cells, and could differentiate to all three germ layers.
