Human pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) are highly valuable tools to model lung development and chronic bronchial diseases. We generated a hiPSC line from a highly characterized 40-year-old healthy male nonsmoking donor. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were reprogrammed using integration-free Sendai Virus. The cell line had normal karyotype, expressed pluripotency hallmarks, and differentiated into the three primary germ layers. The reported UHOMi002-A iPSC line may be used as a control to model lung development, study human chronic bronchial diseases and drug testing.
