Orphan and Rare disease iPSC lines

RMP-generated iPSC lines
During phase 1 of the RMP 1 clinical-grade, current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) iPSC line and 14 research-grade iPSC lines were made available to the research community. These lines are distributed through RUCDR Infinite Biologics at Rutgers University. Please visit https://stemcells.nindsgenetics.org/ to request these lines and the frequently asked questions page for additional information, especially on the clinical-grade cell line. View an overview of the procedure for obtaining iPSCs from RUCDR Infinite Biologics.

Are you looking for human embryonic stem cell (hESC) lines? The NIH RMP has not supported the development of any hESC lines. For a list of available hESC lines eligible for NIH funding please visit the NIH Human Embryonic Stem Cell Registry.

RMP-generated iPSC lines - Clinical Grade

Cell Line Description Type Parental Line/Starting Material iPSC Reprogramming Method Status
LiPSC-GR1.1 Current good manufacturing practices line (male) Clinical Grade CD34+ cord blood Episomal plasmid Available
LiPSC-GR1.1 non-Current good manufacturing practices line (male) Research Grade CD34+ cord blood Episomal plasmid Available

RUCDR and the NHCDR is distributing a Clinical Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) induced Pluripotent Stem Cell (iPSC) Master Cell Bank (MCB) generated by Lonza Walkersville from CD34+ cord blood on behalf of the RMP. This MCB was generated and is being stored and shipped under current cGMP conditions which is a requirement for their intended use in clinical studies.

The iPSC working cell bank (WCB) is a matched research grade iPSC bank developed from the MCB. After the MCB was derived and certified as cGMP, a vial of the MCB was expanded under non-cGMP condition at RUCDR to generate the WCB. The WCB was generated for researchers to develop and optimize protocols and standard operating procedures, such as evaluating differentiation potential, before requesting the MCB. The costs and specialized facilities necessary to generate and maintain cGMP iPSC cells necessitates that they only be used once procedures have been optimized and streamlined for clinical studies to preserve resources. The generation of the cells is described in publications 1 and 2, below.

An FAQ describing the MCB and WCB, procedures for obtaining these cells and more details about their derivation and usage can be found at https://commonfund.nih.gov/stemcells/faq.

Orphan and Rare disease iPSC lines
Phase 1 the RMP also supported NIH intramural investigators to develop iPSC lines from Orphan and Rare diseases and to help translate iPSC research into the clinic. These Orphan and Rare disease iPSC lines generated by NIH intramural investigators are available to the research community. Investigators interested in requesting an orphan and/or rare disease iPSC line should email the NIH intramural investigator who created the line (last column in chart below). Acknowledgement decisions are made between the requestor and the NIH investigator. Some of the iPSC lines were generated with materials from external clinicians and under different agreement types (IRB protocols and Material Transfer Agreements) and thus may carry use restrictions. Please email the NIH intramural investigator who created the line for additional information.
