Reprogrammed Stem Cell Line for Research: IISH3i-CB6
WARF: P120130US01

Inventors: Igor Slukvin, Kejin Hu, James Thomson

The Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF) is seeking commercial partners interested in developing a transgene-free iPSC line generated by reprogramming cord blood cells.
Overview
Reprogramming blood cells to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) provides a novel tool for studying blood development in vitro.
The Invention
UW–Madison researchers have developed a reprogrammed iPSC line called IISH3i-CB6. Their method generates iPSCs free of transgene and vector sequences from human bone marrow and cord blood mononuclear cells using non-integrating episomal vectors.
Applications
  • Reprogrammed iPSCs for research
Key Benefits
  • Research-grade stem cells
