Successfully transforming isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from a healthy male into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) was achieved using non-integrating episomal vectors containing OCT4, SOX2, c-MYC, KLF4, and BCL-XL. The iPSCs exhibited a normal karyotype, expressed pluripotency markers, and demonstrated the ability to differentiate into three germ layers in vitro. This iPSC line may be employed for subsequent research purposes.
