Abstract
⺠We tried reprogramming terminally differentiated B cells into erythroid lineage. ⺠We introduced various transcription factors into activated B cells by retrovirus. ⺠Erythroid conversion of B cells was achieved by introducing GATA-1, SCL and C/EBPα. ⺠Converted cells retained rearrangement of IgH gene, confirming their B cell origin. ⺠Converted cells presented erythroid morphology and expressed erythrocyte genes.
