Author(s) : KEARNEY J. N., WHELDON L. A., GOWLAND G.

Type of article: Article

Summary

IN ORDER TO EVALUATE THE MANY VARIABLES THAT CAN AFFECT CRYOPRESERVATION SUCCESS, A SIMPLE, HIGHLY REPRODUCIBLE MODEL SYSTEM IS REQUIRED. THE AUTHORS HAVE EVALUATED THE USE OF TETRAZOLIUM REDUCTASE ACTIVITY AS A PROGNOSTIC INDICATOR OF SKIN VIABILITY IN AN INBRED MURINE MODEL. SKIN TETRAZOLIUM REDUCTASE ACTIVITY CORRELATED WELL WITH OXYGEN CONSUMPTION, AND WITH GRAFT SUCCESS FOLLOWING VARYING DEGREES OF CRYOGENIC INJURY. THE ASSAY WAS SHOWN TO BE HIGHLY REPRODUCIBLE.
