Summary

NEONATAL RAT PANCREATIC TISSUE WAS FROZEN TO 77 K (-196 DEG C) USING DIMETHYLSULFOXIDE AS A CRYOPROTECTANT AND A SLOW FREEZING RATE TO 203 K (-70 DEG C)FOLLOWED BY IMMERSION IN LIQUID NITROGEN. RAPID THAWING WAS USED. VIABILITY WAS DEMONSTRATED BY SUCCESSFUL TRANSPLANTATION TO STREPTOZOTOCIN-INDUCED DIABETIC RECIPIENTS. LONG-TERM PRESERVATION, UP TO 4 WEEKS, DID NOT DEMONSTRABLY AFFECT VIABILITY.
