Abstract
We describe the generation and characterization of three pairs of human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) lines reprogrammed from myoblasts and from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of the same donor. All donors were free of neuromuscular disorders, female and between 47 and 50years of age. For reprogramming we used Sendai-virus delivery of the four Yamanaka factors. The pluripotent identity of the hiPSC lines was confirmed by the expression of pluripotency markers and their capacity to differentiate into all three germ layers. These hiPSCs constitute a tool to study tissue of origin specific differences in the identity of hiPSCs.
