Generation of Macaca fascicularis iPS cell line ATCi-MF1 from adult skin fibroblasts using non-integrative Sendai viruses

We generated ATCi-MF1 induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell line from Macaca fascicularis adult skin fibroblasts using non-integrative Sendai viruses carrying OCT3/4, KLF4, SOX2 and c-MYC.Once established, ATCi-MF1 cells present a normal karyotype, are Sendai virus-free and express pluripotency associated markers.Microsatellite markers Pads analysis confirmed the origin of the iPS cells from the parental fibroblasts.Pluripotency was tested with the in vivo teratoma formation assay.ATCi-MF1 cell line may be a useful primate iPS cell model to test different experimental conditions creams-lotions where the use of human cells can imply ethical issues, as microinjection of pluripotent stem cells in pre-implantational embryos.
