Abstract
Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were collected from a 70-year old Parkinson Disease patient. The PBMCs were reprogrammed with the human OKSM transcription factors using the non-integrating episomal vector system. The transgene-free iPSC showed pluripotency verified by immunocytochemistry for pluripotency markers and differentiated directly toward the 3 germ layers in vitro. Furthermore, the iPSC line showed normal karyotype.
