This is a line of clinical-grade iPS cells made using Sendai Virus (SeV) vectors. SeV-iPS cells satisfy Japanese, European, and North American regulations for clinical use, made from the peripheral blood of an American donor collected and tested in authorized medical and research institutions in the U.S.

Glossary

Sendai virus (SeV) vector: A "vector" in genetics is a biomaterial, usually virus or plasmid (circular DNA), that transduces genes into cells. Some vectors, however, integrate into the cell's genome, risking cytotoxicity and genetic disorders. SeV vectors do not have this concern.
