摘要:
The present invention provides polymers and methods for increasing the viability of cryopreserved cells after thawing. Thawing cryopreserved cells in the presence of a polymer such as poloxymer Pl 88 or other non-ionic polymers is thought to stabilize the membranes of the cells leading to increased post-thaw viability. Such methods may be used in the processing of cells and tissues for transplantation or for research purposes. Other agents such as antioxidants, vitamins, or osmotic protectants may also be added to cells to improve viability.
