Iodixanol-UWS Purification for Porcine Islet Transplantation • AIDSPIT 1998 • Michel van der Burg • Miracles.Media • @1MEMO 20250131
Slideshow (digitally remastered) of first talk on pancreatic islet xeno-transplantation following adult pig islet purification in our novel Iodixanol-UWS density gradient. Presented at the 17th Workshop of the AIDSPIT Study Group in Igls, Austria, Tuesday, Jan 27, 1998 (1, 2).
Isolation of porcine pancreatic islets (from the pancreas of large sows) was markedly improved by keeping the islets in the UW donor organ preservation solution (UWS) both during the isolation of islets (using the Liberase enzyme blend) and purification of the islets using a novel Iodixanol-UWS density gradient.
Transplantation of the pig islets (after 1 day storage in culture solution) restored normal blood sugar levels in diabetic mice.
