Here we show a simple and effective protocol for the generation of human iPSCs from 3-4 ml of peripheral blood using a single lentiviral reprogramming vector. Reprogramming of readily available blood cells promises to accelerate the utilization of iPSC technology by making it accessible to a broader research community.

The present protocol describes human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived type 2 alveolar epithelial-like cells (iAT2s). These cells can be cultured as self-renewing spheres in 3D culture or adapted to air-liquid interface (ALI) culture.

Recent advances in human induced pluripotent stem cell differentiation protocols allow for the stepwise derivation of organ-specific cell types. Here, we provide detailed steps for the maintenance and expansion of iPSC-derived airway basal cells and their differentiation into a mucociliary epithelium in air-liquid interface cultures.
