mRNA reprogramming is a technology for generating iPSCs with high efficiency and safety. However, it is not suitable for reprogramming non-adherent cells, the primary cell type in blood. An alternative is to obtain adherent cells from blood for this technology. To validate this approach, we generated a human iPSC line from blood outgrowth endothelial cells (BOECs) using mRNA-based reprogramming. The resulting line, CTRL EiPS J9 mR6F-8, meets iPSC criteria, including an undifferentiated state, pluripotency, genome integrity. This line is available upon request.
