Summary

Potential applications of hepatocytes include drug metabolism studies, gene therapy and use in liver-assist devices. Cryopreservation of hepatocytes would enable subsequent pooling of cells under safety- and quality-controlled conditions. In this study, various cryopreservation techniques and cryoprotectants were investigated. Results indicate that use of preliminary culture before cryopreservation can enhance hepatocyte function following thawing.
