Abstract

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were obtained from two patients diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a 47-year-old female and a 45-year-old male. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) were generated using a non-integrating SeV-based method, delivering the transcription factors OCT4, SOX2, c-MYC, and KLF4. These transgene-free iPSC lines exhibited typical pluripotent cell morphology, expressed pluripotency-associated markers, and had tri-lineage differentiation potential. Both iPSC lines were free of mycoplasma contamination and displayed normal karyotypes. The availability of these two cell lines provides a promising opportunity to use sporadic ALS models for investigating the intricate pathological mechanisms of ALS.
