CRYOPRESERVATION OF ARTICULAR CARTILAGE CHONDROCYTES.

Author(s) : YANG X., ZHANG Z.

Summary

CHONDROCYTES ISOLATED FROM HUMAN FETAL ARTICULAR CARTILAGE WERE CRYOPRESERVED. THE OPTIMAL COOLING RATE FOR CHONDROCYTES WAS SELECTED BY PROGRAM CONTROLLED FREEZING AND THE BEST SURVIVAL RATE (94.25%) WAS OBTAINED WHEN THE COOLING RATE WAS 4 K/MIN. DIFFERENT THAWING CURVES WERE OBSERVED. THAWING IN A 310-313 K (37-40 DEG C) WATER BATH GOT THE BEST RESULT. THERE WAS NO OBVIOUS CHANGE OF VIABILITIES OF CHONDROCYTES DURING 120 DAYS STORAGE AT 77 K (-196 DEG C).
