Summary

The authors developed a cryopreservation procedure for human pancreatic islets and foetal porcine proislets as a model of human foetal proislets that can achieve a high recovery rate be using a computer-controlled fully automated cryounit. Also, the authors revealed no alteration of immunogenicity in class II alloantigens of human pancreatic islets after cryopreservation used on mixed islet-lymphocyte culture. Finally, the authors used frozen-thawed human islets from an islet bank. The transplanted islets have been functioning for 3 months.
