Generation and Hematopoietic Differentiation of Mesenchymal Stromal/Stem Cell-Derived Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Lines for Disease Modeling of Hematopoietic and Immunological Diseases.

Here, we describe a protocol for reprogramming of bone marrow-derived multipotent mesenchymal stromal/stem cells to obtain induced pluripotent stem cells from patients with primary immune deficiencies using lentiviral vectors, followed by hematopoietic differentiation of the MSC-derived iPSCs. This protocol is particularly helpful in cases where it is difficult to obtain sufficient numbers of hematopoietic cells for research and can be applied to model any hematological/immunological disease.
