PARAMETERS AFFECTING THE OSMOTIC BEHAVIOR OF CELLS DURING FREEZING AND THAWING: HUMAN GRANULOCYTES.

Author(s) : SCHWARTZ G. J., DILLER K. R.

Type of article: Article

Summary

INDIVIDUAL HUMAN GRANULOCYTES WERE EXAMINED VISUALLY DURING FREEZING AND THAWING USING A CRYOMICROSCOPE. THE FREEZING EVENTS WERE RECORDED BY SEQUENTIAL PHOTOMICROGRAPHY. THE APPARENT TRANSIENT CELL VOLUMES WERE DETERMINED BY DIRECT MEASUREMENT AS A FUNCTION OF TEMPERATURE. CELLS EXHIBITED SENSIVITY IN OSMOTIC RESPONSE TO MANIPULATION OF THE COOLING AND WARMING RATES, THE EXTRACELLULAR NUCLEATION TEMPERATURE, AND THE HOLDING TIME AT THE NUCLEATION STATE.
