Abstract: The technology described herein relates to compositions and methods for the generation of a primordial NK/T cell, where the produced NK/T primordial cell can subsequently differentiate into T cells or NK cells at an extremely high efficiency and reproducibility. Other aspects relate to genetically modified iPSC cell lines, and method of their use to generate iPSC-derived NK/T primordial cells with a very high yield and high efficiency.

Abstract: The present invention is based on the discovery that a single lentiviral vector expressing multiple individual transcription factor proteins from a single multi-cistronic mRNA can reprogram a fibroblast cell to a stem cell-like cell. These reprogrammed induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells are pluripotent. Additions of the Cre-LoxP sequences into the single lentiviral vector facilitate excision of the vector after reprogramming in achieved. Addition of a maker gene into the single lentiviral vector facilitates detection of the presence of the vector in an iPS. The invention provides compositions and methods of producing iPS cells using a single multi-cistronic lentiviral vector.
