Abstract:
The Sendai virus (SeV) vector system offers an efficient, nonintegrating approach to reprogram somatic cells into either naive or primed human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Here, we describe a protocol to generate transgene-free naive iPSCs from human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) using a modified, temperature-sensitive SeV system. The method leverages LMYC in place of cMYC and an optional H1FOO-DD factor to enhance efficiency and uniformity, and employs a controlled temperature shift to facilitate vector clearance.
