Abstract

The reprogramming of somatic cells into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) using a combination of defined transcription factors has become one of the most widely used techniques in stem cell biology. A critical, early event in iPSC reprogramming is the induction of the endogenous transcription factor network that maintains pluripotency in iPSCs. Here we describe using a transgenic, conditional Oct4-Cre construct to investigate the spatial and temporal induction of endogenous Oct4 expression during the reprogramming of mouse fibroblasts into iPS cells.
