Expanded human lymphoblast cells from three different aged healthy individuals, 8-year-old male, 0-year-old newborn (NB) male, and 26-year-old female, were used to generate induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines TRNDi033-A, TRNDi034-A and TRNDi035-A, respectively, by exogenous expression of five reprogramming factors, human OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, L-MYC and LIN28. The authenticity of established iPSC lines was confirmed by the expressions of stem cell markers, karyotype analysis, embryoid body formation, and scorecard analysis. These iPSC lines could serve as healthy donor controls that are age and sex matched for the studies involving patient-specific iPSCs.
