The generation of a sustainable supply of erythroid progenitors is essential for the reliable production of anin vitroderived red blood cell clinical product. Here the authors immortalize early human erythroblasts to generate the first cell line capable of differentiation into functional adult reticulocytes.

However, available methods for in vitro generation of red cells from adult and cord blood progenitors do not yet provide a sustainable supply, and current systems using pluripotent stem cells as progenitors do not generate viable red cells. We have taken an alternative approach, immortalizing early adult erythroblasts generating a stable line, which provides a contin
