A cell line (UM-BGE-2) derived from embryos of the cockroach Blattella germanica was frozen to ?196 °C under a variety of conditions and cell viability was assayed after warming. It was found that cell viability was affected by the cooling rate, the warming rate, the controlled cooling endpoint temperature, and the type and concentration of cryoprotectant. The best survival for cells suspended in Grace's tissue culture medium containing 1 M Me2SO was obtained when cells were cooled at 1 °C/ min to at least ?90 °C before being placed in liquid nitrogen and warmed at more than 900 °C/min. Cultures initiated from these frozen cells produce typical growth curves and appear normal after several passages.  相似文献

Normal mouse marrow cells were frozen in an automatically controlled freezer at a cooling rate of 1 °C/min to ?40 °C and 7 °C/ min to ?100 °C using dimethylsulfoxide as a cryoprotective agent. The freezing solution contained in addition either 10% homologous serum or 10% fetal calf serum. Control samples were frozen with serum-free medium. After thawing, stepwise dilution, and washing, the cells were counted, checked for CFU-s content, and cultured in Millipore diffusion chambers for 2 and 7 days.HS resulted in a recovery of 59.7% nucleated cells and 100.5% CFU-s whereas FCS and serum-free medium resulted in 59.8 and 34.7% nucleated cells and 24.5 and 18.2% CFU-s, respectively. After 2 days of culture, D.C. data showed a correlation with the CFU-s results. After 7 days of culture, no significant difference was observed between the three groups. The results of these experiments indicate that HS is required for an optimal stem cell cryopreservation and that a 2-day D.C. culture is a reliable assay system for transplantable hemopoietic tissue.  相似文献

Human erythrocytes were frozen on the stage of a cryomicroscope at accurately controlled constant-cooling rates with varying degrees of extracellular supercooling. The formation of intracellular ice was detected by direct observation of the frozen cells through the microscope. A significant coupling effect was determined between the minimum cooling rate necessary to produce intracellular freezing and the extent of supercooling. Increased degrees of extracellular supercooling reduced the range of cooling rates for which water would freeze within the cell. Specific data points were obtained at ΔTSC = 0, ?5, and ?12 °C for which the corresponding transition cooling rates were respectively ?845, ?800, and ?11 °C/min.An explanation for the occurrence of this phenomenon is presented based on the physiochemical processes that govern the freezing of a cell suspension.  相似文献

Peripheral blood stem cells are being used to reconstitute human bone marrow function after ablative therapy of blast transformation of chronic myelogenous leukemia. Studies were undertaken to establish the optimum cooling and warming conditions of the preservation of colonyforming activity in the peripheral blood of patients with CML.The results show that maximum recovery of CFU-c activity occurs after cooling at 3 °C/min, an average of 50% better than the recovery following cooling at 1 °C/min. CFU-c recovery decreased with decreasing warming rate, but high recovery was obtained with warming rates as low as 10 °C/ min. Viable cell count did not correlate with CFU-c recovery, therefore it represents a poor index for quality control.These results suggest that for clinical purposes bulk samples in flat bags with high surface area to volume ratios, frozen at a rate of 3 °C/min and thawed as rapidly as possible, should give maximum recovery of stem cell activity.  相似文献

Granulocytes isolated by counterflow centrifugation elutriation (CCE) from leukapheresed dog blood, frozen in liquid nitrogen at ?196 °C, were studied. The effects of long-term cryopreservation on cell recovery and in vitro function were detertmined. In seven separate experiments, an average of 1.7 × 109 granulocytes were obtained. The white cell differential count was 91% granulocytes and 9% mononuclear cells. There was less than 5% red cells presrent and no platelets. Granulocytes were placed in Hemoflex bags and mixed slowly with equal volumes of sterile ice-cold hyperosmolar cryoprotectant buffer to make a final composition of 5% dimethylsulfoxide (DMS), 6% hydroxyethyl starch (HES), and 4% bovine serum albumin (BSA), pH 7.1. Total volumes of 40 ml were frozen at a cooling rate of 4 °C per minute and stored for periods of 1, 34, 60, 90, and 132 weeks in liquid nitrogen at ?196 °C. Thawing was done at a rate of 190 ° per minute to 10 °C. The recovery of cells was 95%, 105%, 100%, 100%, and 88% respectively. Ethidium bromide exclusion, indicative of viable nuclei, was 91%, 81%, 94%, 89%, and 80% respectively. Virtually all thawed cells ingested opsonized Fluolite particles, but the number ingested was approximately one-half that of prefreeze values. Thawed cells also demonstrated superoxide anion synthesis at rates approximating those in unfrozen granulocytes. These results indicate that dog granulocytes obtained by leukapheresis may be preserved in liquid nitrogen at ?196 °C with high cellular recovery and at least 50% phagocytic function.  相似文献

The post-thaw motility and the acrosome integrity of semen from 4 boars frozen with a programmable freezing machine, in mini (0.25 ml) and maxi (5 ml) plastic straws and in 10 × 5 cm TeflonR FEP-plastic bags (0.12 mm thick, 5 ml), were compared. The freezing of the semen was monitored by way of thermocouples placed in the straws and the bags. Three freezing programmes were used, namely A: from + 5° C, at a rate of 3° C/min, to −6° C, held for 1 min at –6° C, and followed by a cooling rate of 20° C/min to −100° C; B: a similar curve except that there was no holding time at −6° C and that the cooling rate was 30° C/min, and C: from +5°C to −100° C, with a cooling rate of 35° C/min, followed by storage in liquid N2. Despite the treezing curve assayed, both the mini-straws and the bags depicted much shorter freezing point plateaus as compared to the maxi-straws. Post-thaw sperm motility as well as the amount of normal apical ridges were equally significantly higher when semen was frozen in mini-straws or in bags than in maxi-straws. Significant differences in these post-thawing parameters were obtained between the freezing curves used. The stepwise freezing procedure A appeared as the best alternative for boar semen, considering this in vitro evaluation.  相似文献

A free-living, marine dinoflagellate, Crypthecodinium cohnii, was successfully preserved by controlled and uncontrolled freezing. Tolerance testing to various concentrations of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and glycerol established that 7.5% glycerol was the best cryoprotectant. Controlled freezing was accomplished by using a biological freezer to obtain a 1 °C/min cooling rate. After storage for a minimum of 7 days at ?150 °C material frozen by this method demonstrated a 47.7% mean recovery, and cells were viable through five subcultures. Uncontrolled freezing resulted from placing the ampoules on the bottom of a low temperature refrigerator at ?55 °C for 1 hr. This material demonstrated a mean recovery of 30.8% with a much wider range. Cells were initially nonmotile following recovery, and in those recovered after uncontrolled freezing motility was further delayed. One strain was viable after 6 years of storage with a 68% recovery following controlled freezing.The lack of motility immediately following recovery leads to inaccuracies when determining the percentage of cells recovered. Dilution techniques have been used for nonmotile recovered cells, but this method has been unsuccessful in our laboratory. Delayed motility has been reported for other flagellates and work in our laboratory indicates that flagellar shearing may be the cause.  相似文献

Mouse oviducts containing eight-cell embryos were frozen to ?196 °C in 1.45 m DMSO. The cooling rate was 0.3 °C/min and thawing occurred at 3 °C/min. Dilution of DMSO took place either before or after flushing of the thawed oviducts. The yield of intact embryos was higher in the second group.In one particular series involving 21 donor mice (natural ovulation) 88 recovered embryos were transferred to the oviducts of recently mated pseudopregnant mice without prior in vitro culture to the blastocyst stage. Fifty-five live young were born.It is concluded that the freezing of embryos in the oviduct is a reliable method for establishing an embryo bank. Handling and collection of isolated embryos is not required and a large amount of material can be frozen at once. In vitro culturing of embryos is not required immediately after thawing in order to obtain a high yield of live young.  相似文献

Red blood cells were frozen in small capillaries down to ?196 °C at different linear cooling rates with or without the cryoadditive HES; the thawing rate was 3000 or 6500 °C/min. Hematocrit and hydroxyethyl starch concentration varied independently. The hemolysis of red blood cells was determined photometrically after 250-fold dilution and compared to totally hemolyzed samples. The typical U-shaped curves for hemolysis as a function of the cooling rate were obtained for all cell suspensions investigated. Relative optimum cooling rates were determined for the respective combinations of HES and hct. The results show that increasing hct causes an increased hemolysis; increased HES concentration CHES reduces the optimum cooling rate Bopt; increased hct results in higher optimal cooling rates. The findings allow one to establish a linear correlation of the HES concentration and the optimum cooling rates when the dilution of the extracellular medium by the cell water efflux during freezing is taken into account. A comparison with results from larger volumes frozen (25 ml) shows that the established relationship between hematocrit, HES concentration, and optimal cooling rate remains valid.  相似文献

Intact adult rat hearts were cooled in the presence of 10% DMSO according to an external cooling program which approximated the optimal external three-step cooling program for the isolated adult heart cells: 20 min at ?20 °C, 0.2 °C/min from ?20 to ?25, ?30, or ?50 °C, and rapid cooling to ?196 °C. Following rapid thawing, cells were isolated after perfusion with a 0.1% collagenase solution. Only cells which originated from the free wall of the right ventricle could be isolated, even after cooling to ?20 °C. Most cells from hearts cooled to ?196 °C did not survive. When the third cooling step was omitted and the end temperature of the second cooling step was ?30 °C, 38% of the cells excluded trypan blue, 29% were morphologically intact, and 30% showed spontaneous contractions after thawing, expressed as percentages of the control, A much lower survival was found after cooling to ?50 °C.Histological and electron microscopical study of the heart immediately after thawing revealed no differences between hearts cooled to ?20, ?30, or ?196 °C. Also no marked differences were observed between the morphological integrity after freezing and thawing of the atrium, the left and right ventricle walls, and the ventricular septum. The survival data suggest the presence of nonmorphologically detectable alterations in cells frozen to ?196 °C, compared to cells frozen to ?30 °C. The morphological investigations indicate no essential differences in resistance of atrial and ventricular cells to the freezing process.Experiments involving neonatal rat hearts cooled to ?196 °C, according to the method which gave optimal preservation of the isolated cells, revealed that after thawing cells are present from which growing and contracting cultures can be derived. It appears that cells in the neonatal rat heart are more resistant to freezing to ?196 °C than cells in the adult rat heart.  相似文献

Rates of photooxidation of P-700 by green (560 nm) or blue (438 nm) light were measured in whole cells of Porphyridium cruentum which had been frozen to ?196 °C under conditions in which the Photosystem II reaction centers were either all open (dark adapted cells) or all closed (preilluminated cells). The rate of photooxidation of P-700 at ?196 °C by green actinic light was approx. 80% faster in the preilluminated cells than in the dark-adapted cells. With blue actinic light, the rates of P-700 photooxidation in the dark-adapted and preilluminated cells were not significantly different. These results are in excellent agreement with predictions based on our previous estimates of energy distribution in the photosynthetic apparatus of Porphyridium cruentum including the yield of energy transfer from Photosystem II to Photosystem I determined from low temperature fluorescence measurements.  相似文献

The effect of cooling rate on recovery of human and murine hemopoietic precursor cells was studied. In the presence of 10% Me2SO, a cooling rate of 7 °C/min from ?4 to ?30 °C was optimal for recovery of both human and murine precursor cells which give rise to colonies in diffusion chambers implanted in mice (CFU-DG). Cooling of human marrow at a rate between 3 and 7 °C/min resulted in the best CFU-C recovery, although no good correlation between the cooling rate and murine CFU-C recovery was demonstrated. These data suggest that recovery of the primitive hemopoietic precursor cells can be improved by changing the standard cryopreservation programs used presently. However, improved recovery of CFU-DG does not necessarily translate into faster reconstitution of hemopoiesis. No significant difference was observed in overall recovery of bone marrow cellularity in lethally irradiated mice following injection of untreated marrow and marrow cooled at a rate of 1 and 7 °C/min.  相似文献

The rate at which lethal intracellular ice forms during sperm cryopreservation is highly dependent on the cooling protocol. The present work compares two cooling protocols for use with Iberian ibex (Capra pyrenaica) sperm by assessing the effects on the motility, viability, and size of frozen-thawed sperm cells. Ejaculates, obtained from six adult ibex males via transrectal, ultrasound-guided massage of the accessory sex glands plus electroejaculation if necessary, were cooled via either 1) Protocol 1 (decelerating cooling), involving cooling in liquid nitrogen vapor from 5 °C to −35 °C (40 °C/min), from −35 °C to −65 °C (17 °C/min), and then from −65 °C to −85 °C (3 °C/min); or 2) Protocol 2 (accelerating cooling) involving cooling in a biological freezer from 5 °C to −5 °C (4 °C/min), from −5 °C to −110 °C (25 °C/min), and then from −110 °C to −140 °C (35 °C/min). Compared to fresh ejaculates, sperm quality at thawing was found to be reduced by both protocols (p < .05), but especially by Protocol 1. Sperm head size was also significantly reduced by both protocols, although the Protocol 1 sperm heads were also significantly smaller than those of Protocol 2 sperms heads (p < .05). In fresh sperm samples, clustering analyses revealed two subpopulations of sperms with different morphometric characteristics, SP1 with larger cells, and SP2 with smaller cells. Both cooling protocols caused reduction in the proportion of SP1 cells, and an increase in the proportion of SP2 cells. In conclusion, the decelerating cooling protocol (Protocol 1) caused greater cryodamage to the sperm cells than the accelerating protocol (Protocol 2).  相似文献

Culture collections of microalgae represent a biological resource for scientific research and biotechnological applications. When compared to the current methods of maintenance and sub-culturing, cryopreservation minimizes labor costs and is an effective method for maintaining a large range of species over long periods with high stability. In order to determine the best cryopreservation method for microalgae species with great biotechnological potential, three freezing protocols were employed using different cryoprotectants (dimethyl sulfoxide—Me2SO; methanol—MeOH). Three marine microalgae species (Thalassiosira weissflogii; Nannochloropsis oculata, and Skeletonema sp.) were cooled by directly plunging into liquid nitrogen (?196°C) and with two-step controlled cooling protocols (?18°C and ?80°C pre-treatments). After storage periods ranging from 10 to 120 days, viability was determined by the ability of cells to actively grow again. Results obtained for T. weissflogii showed that this species could be preserved at ultra-low temperature (?196°C) for 10 and 30 days with 10?% Me2SO and 5?% MeOH when employed a controlled cooling protocol (?80°C). N. oculata was successfully cryopreserved either by direct freezing or with controlled cooling protocols. N. oculata samples presented good responses when treated with 5?% Me2SO, 10?% Me2SO, 5?% MeOH and even without any cryoprotectant. Skeletonema sp. did not survive cryopreservation in any of the tested conditions. The results indicate the difficulty in establishing common protocols for different microalgae species, being necessary further studies for a better understanding of cell damages during freezing and thawing conditions for each species.  相似文献

Intracellular freezing of glycerolized red cells.   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
K R Diller 《Cryobiology》1979,16(2):125-131
The response of glycerolized human red blood cells to freezing has been evaluated in terms of the thermodynamic state of the frozen intracellular medium. The physiochemical conditions requisite for intracellular freezing, characterized by the cooling rate and the degree of extracellular supercooling, are altered appreciably by the prefreezing addition of glycerol to the cells.Fresh human erythrocytes were suspended in an isotonic glycerol solution yielding a final cryophylactic concentration of either 1.5 or 3.0 m. Subsequently the cell suspension was frozen on a special low temperature stage, mounted on a light microscope, at controlled constant cooling rates with varying degrees of extracellular supercooling (ΔTsc). The formation of a pure intracellular ice phase was detected by direct observation of the cells.The addition of glycerol produced several significant variations in the freezing characteristics of the blood. As in unmodified cells, the incidence of intracellular freezing increased with the magnitudes of both the cooling rate and the extracellular supercooling. However, the glycerolized cells exhibited a much greater tendency to supercool prior to the initial nucleation of ice. Values of ΔTsc > ?20 °C were readily obtained. Also, the transition from 0 to 100% occurrence of intracellular ice covered a cooling rate spectrum in excess of 300 to 600 °K/min, as compared with 10 °C/min for unmodified cells. Thus, the incidence of intracellular ice formation was significantly increased in glycerolized cells.  相似文献

Rat islets of Langerhans were frozen to ?196 °C using a two-step freezing procedure. Islets isolated from the pancreases of Long Evans hooded rats were exposed to CMRL 1066 media containing 1 M dimethyl sulfoxide for 6 min at 4 °C. They were transferred directly to subzero holding baths ranging from ?20 to ?43 °C for 5 to 20 min prior to transfer to and storage in liquid nitrogen. After warming at ~7 °C/min, the islets were diluted with Hanks' balanced salt solution containing 10% fetal calf serum, washed, and cultured overnight. In general, maximum protection of the islets from the stress of cooling to ?196 °C was obtained after holding the islets at ?35 or ?40 °C for between 5 and 15 min. After thawing, islets frozen using an “optimized” two-step protocol released insulin in response to a glucose challenge at a rate equivalent to that of control islets.  相似文献

The extent of hemolysis of human red blood cells suspended in different concentrations of glycerol and frozen at various cooling rates was investigated on the basis of morphological observation in the frozen state. Hemolysis of the cells in the absence of glycerol showed a V-shaped curve in terms of cooling rates. There was 70% hemolysis at an optimal cooling rate of approximately 103 °C/min and 100% hemolysis at all other rates tested. Morphologically, a lower than optimal cooling rate resulted in cellular shrinkage, while a higher than optimal rate resulted in the formation of intracellular ice.The cryoprotective effect of glycerol was dependent upon its concentration and on the cooling rate. Samples frozen at 103 and 104 °C/min showed freezing patterns which differed from cell to cell. The size of intraand extracellular ice particles became smaller, and there was less shrinkage or deformation of cells as the rate of cooling and concentration of glycerol were increased.There was some correlation between the morphology of frozen cells and the extent of post-thaw hemolysis, but the minimum size of intracellular ice crystals which might cause hemolysis could not be estimated. As a cryotechnique for electron microscopy, the addition of 30% glycerol and ultrarapid freezing at 105 °C/min are minimum requirements for the inhibition of ice formation and the prevention of the corresponding artifacts in erythrocytes.  相似文献

The freeze-preservation of pollen is dependent on the interaction of several factors such as freezing rate, thawing rate, freeze-drying temperature and duration, storage temperature and environment and rehydration rates. Changes in any of these variables affects the others directly or indirectly.Rapid freezing of pollen at rates of approximately 200 °C/min maintains the highest degree of viable pollen in combination with rapid thawing rates of 218 °C/min. Rapid cooling and slow rewarming resulted in a substantial loss of pollen viability. This might indicate that intracellular ice crystals formed during rapid cooling perhaps grow into larger ice masses during slow rewarming or storage at temperatures above ?50 °C.The germinability of pollen freeze-dried at temperatures below ?50 °C was also prolonged over that of the controls. Germination values for unfrozen pollen stored for 30 days at 0–5 °C averaged 50% for lily and 20% for corn. Freeze-dried pollen stored for 30 days at the same temperature yielded considerably higher viability percentages for both lily and corn pollen. Drying time is an important factor, perhaps indicating that residual moisture is critical. Freeze-dried pollen can be stored at higher temperatures than frozen and control pollen. Freeze-dried material stored for five months at 0–5 °C, upon slow rehydration yielded intact grains which has average germination percentages of 25 for lily and 15 for corn. The same pollen upon rapid rehydration showed rupturing of 20–40% of the cells and practically no germination.  相似文献

Sperm was collected from cultured male fish and cryopreserved in 0.25 ml straws for the study of sperm cryopreservation. Different parameters were evaluated, including extender, dilution ratio, cryoprotectant type and concentration, equilibrium time, cooling height (in a two-step cooling protocol), and thawing temperature. The optimum result was obtained when the sperm was diluted at a 1:7 ratio in D-16 with 5% DMSO as a cryoprotectant, equilibrated for 20 min, held at 3 cm above liquid nitrogen for 10 min, and then stored in liquid nitrogen. After thawing in a water bath at 40 °C, the percentage of motile cells and fertilization rates of frozen-thawed sperm were 35.33 ± 2.52% and 39.00 ± 4.58%, respectively, while the corresponding rates for fresh sperm were 87.67 ± 3.06% and 88.67 ± 4.62%. We also used a programmed cooling protocol in which temperature was decreased from 4 °C to −80 °C by a rate of 30 °C/min, and then straws (0.25 ml) were placed above the surface of liquid nitrogen for 2 min before being stored in liquid nitrogen. This protocol provided a post-thaw activation rate of 36.67 ± 4.77%. Further parametric optimization is required to improve the quality of frozen-thawed sperm.  相似文献

Visualization of freezing damage. II. Structural alterations during warming   总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4  
H Bank 《Cryobiology》1973,10(2):157-170
There is a growing amount of indirect evidence which suggests that the loss in viability of rapidly cooled cells is due to recrystallization of intracellular ice. This possibility was tested by an evaluation of the formation of morphological artifacts in rapidly cooled cells to determine whether this process can account for the loss in viability. Samples of the common yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae were frozen at 1.8 or 1500 °C/min, and the structure of the frozen cells was examined by the use of freeze-fracturing techniques. Other cells cooled at the same rate were warmed to temperatures ranging from ?20 ° to ?50 °C and then rapidly cooled to ?196 °C, a procedure that should cause small ice crystals to coalesce by the process of migratory recrystallization. Cells cooled at 1500 °C/min and then warmed to temperatures above ?40 °C formed large intracellular ice crystals within 30 min, and appreciable recrystallization occurred at temperatures as low as ?45 °C. Cells cooled at 1.8 °C/min and warmed to temperatures as high as ?20 °C underwent little structural alteration. These results demonstrate that intracellular ice can cause morphological artifacts. The correlation between the temperature at which rapid recrystallization begins and the temperature at which the cells are inactivated indicates that recrystallization is responsible for the death of rapidly cooled cells.  相似文献
