Abstract
Neurog2 is the gene encoding the neuronal transcription factor NGN2, which can convert stem cells into functional neurons in a fast and efficient way. Here we report the generation of two iPS cell lines, where DOX inducible constructs of neurog2 either without or with T2A-eGFP were inserted into the safe-site locus AAVS1. These iPS cell lines, BIONi010-C-13 and BIONi010-C-15, respectively, stay pluripotent without DOX but differentiate to (GFP positive) neurons when DOX is added without the need of differentiation factors.
