Generation of induced pluripotent stem cells from human terminally differentiated circulating T cells.

A manuscript has appeared online demonstrating isolation of iPSCs from peripheral blood, including a single line that showed evidence for both TCR-β and TCR-γ rearrangement by PCR (Kunisato, A., Wakatsuki, M., Shinba, H., Ota, T., Ishida, I., and Nagao, K. [2010]. Direct generation of induced pluripotent stem cells from human non-mobilized blood. Stem Cells Dev., in press. Published online May 24, 2010. 10.1089/scd.2010.0063).
