Generation of human induced pluripotent stem cell lines from two down syndrome patients, including a down syndrome/Alzheimer's disease case (FLENIi002-A) and a beta-amyloid-resistant case (FLENIi003-A)
Two human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) lines, FLENIi002-A and FLENIi003-A, were generated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) using the lentiviral-hSTEMCCA-loxP vector. FLENIi002-A was derived from a 52-year-old Down syndrome patient with Alzheimer's disease and amyloid-beta brain accumulation. FLENIi003-A was derived from a cognitively unimpaired 51-year-old Down syndrome patient exhibiting no brain amyloid-beta deposition. Both lines retained the trisomy 21 genotype, and their pluripotency and differentiation potential were confirmed.
