Two human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) lines (IIMCBi001-A and IIMCBi002-A) were generated from dermal fibroblasts of healthy females 10 and 30 years old, respectively. For the reprogramming lentiviral vector expressing OCT4, SOX2, KLF4 and C-MYC was used. The generated hiPSCs showed typical embryonic stem cell-like morphology and correct diploid karyotype. Characterization of the hiPSC lines confirmed expression of pluripotency markers and demonstrated their ability to differentiate into the three-germ layers. Cell cycle analysis of the hiPSCs allowed to estimate population doubling time (DT), duration time of particular phases of the cell cycle and proportion of cells found at each phase.
