Abstract Purpose The objective of this study was to determine whether cells from the conjunctiva could be reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, providing an alternative source of stem cells. Methods We employed a doxycycline-induced reprogrammable mouse strain to generate iPS cells from conjunctiva. The identity of the stem cells was confirmed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and J. Yang : X.
