The likelihood for immunological rejection of Human Leukocyte Antigens (HLA)-mismatched
induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) limits their therapeutic potential. Here we show how a
tissue bank from 150 selected homozygous HLA-typed volunteers could match 93% of the
UK population with a minimal requirement for immunosuppression. Our model provides a
practical approach for using existing HLA-typed samples to generate an iPSC stem cell bank
that circumvents prospective typing of a large number of individuals.
