Summary

THE EFFECT OF CRYOPRESERVATION ON HUMAN NASAL MUCOSAL BIOPSIES WAS EVALUATED BY DETERMINING THE FREQUENCY AND COORDINATION OF THE CILIARY BEAT. SAMPLES WERE CRYOPRESERVED IN A MEDIUM CONTAINING 80% GEY'S BALANCED SALT SOLUTION, 10% DMSO, AND 10% FETAL CALF SERUM. AFTER THAWING, THE SAMPLES WERE PUT INA SOLUTION OF 90% GEY'S BALANCED SALT SOLUTION AND 10% FETAL CALF SERUM. IT IS CONCLUDED THAT CILIATED EPITHELIAL BIOPSIES CAN BE STORED IN LIQUID NITROGEN WITH THE MAINTENANCE OF CILIARY BEAT FREQUENCY.
