Abstract
Blood cells are the most accessible cells for reprogramming. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have multiple applications in regenerative medicine. We reported that induced MSCs (iMSCs) can be efficiently generated with OCT4 under defined conditions and iMSCs can be immortalized by overexpression of OCT4. Here, we detail the protocol for generating integration-free iMSCs from cord blood CD34+ cells using an episomal vector and describe the approach to immortalizing iMSCs.
