Abstract
We have generated MLi004-A, a new induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line derived from skin fibroblasts of a female patient with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB). This iPSC line may be used as a model system for studies on skin integrity, the extracellular matrix and skin barrier function. The characterization of the MLi004-A cell line consisted of molecular karyotyping, next-generation sequencing of the COL7A1 alleles, pluripotency and differentiation potentials testing by immunofluorescence of associated markers in vitro. The MLi-004A line has been also tested for ability to differentiate into fibroblasts.
