Erythropoietic Properties of Human iPSC-Derived RBCs in Immunodeficient Mice

The authors developed a murine model to investigate the in vivo properties of human iPSC-red blood cells (RBCs). iPSC lines were produced from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells by transient expression of plasmids containing OCT4, SOX2, MYC, KLF4 and BCL-XL genes.
