Summary

AN EVALUATION OF VARIOUS REFRIGERATED 277 K (4 C) STORAGE SOLUTIONS AND CONDITIONS WAS CONDUCTED USING RABBIT SKIN. TWO IN VITRO METHODS TO ASSAY SKIN VIABILITY ARE PRESENTED: ONE WHICH DIRECTLY MEASURES BASAL CELL VIABILITY AND ONE WHICH ASSESSES THE SKIN'S ABILITY TO GROW IN CULTURE FOLLOWING STORAGE. THE SUPERIORITY OF STORAGE IN NUTRIENT MEDIUM SUPPLEMENTED WITH FETAL BOVINE OVER CONVENTIONAL STORAGE IN SALINE IS CLEARLY DEMONSTRATED. SKIN STORED IN MEDIUM WITHOUT SERUM GAVE VIABILITY RESULTS WHICH WERE NOT SIGNIFCANTLY DIFFERENT FROM THE UNSTORED CONTROL, BUT GROWTH RATES IN CULTURE DID DIFFER SIGNIFICANTLY FROM THE CONTROL VALUES.
