Abstract

IPSC line RCPCMi004-A was generated from skin fibroblasts collected from a male patient with early onset Parkinson's disease. The patient carries a heterozygous deletion of the exon 2 of PARK2 gene. The reprogramming of fibroblasts was performed with Sendai viruses containing Oct-4, Sox-2, Klf-4 and c-Myc. Pluripotency was confirmed by immunofluorescence, RT-PCR, and formation of embryoid bodies. The RCPCMi004-A cell line carries the same deletion in PARK2 gene. The RCPCMi004-A cell line can be used to model Parkinson's disease in vitro.
