This study describes the generation and characterization of 3 induced pluripotent stem cell lines (iPSCs) generated by somatic reprogramming of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) obtained from healthy individuals. The reprogramming was carried out using non-integrating Sendai virus vectors expressing hKOS, hc-myc and hKlf4. The donors did not carry any mutations for a panel of 13 genes associated with occurrence and progression of Parkinson's disease (PD). These iPSC lines serve as age and gender matched control for the PD patient derived iPSC lines reported by us previously (Datta et al., 2020), neither did the samples have any chromosomal abnormalities.
