Abstract

Mobilized peripheral blood (MPB) CD34+ cells were cultured to CD41+/CD34+ megakaryoblasts. Cells were sorted to obtain a pure megakaryoblast population that was reprogramed by a hOKSM self-silencing polycistronic vector using lentiviral delivery. The generated induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines were tested for silencing of the reprogramming construct by flow cytometry. Pluripotency of MML-6838-Cl2 iPSC line was confirmed by expression of associated markers and by in vivo spontaneous differentiation towards the 3 germ layers. The genomic integrity of iPSC line was shown by karyotyping. The MML-6838-Cl2 iPSC is, to our knowledge, the first to be generated from megakaryoblasts.
