Evaluation of Islet Purification Methods for Making a Continuous Density Gradient and Loading Tissue.
Cell Medicine 2018
Islet purification is one of the most important steps of islet isolation for pancreatic islet transplantation. We previously reported that a purification method using large plastic bottles effectively achieved a high yield of islets from porcine pancreas. In this study, we evaluated the methods for making a continuous density gradient and loading tissue. One method involved loading digested tissue on top of a continuous density gradient (top loading). The other method involved mixing digested tissue with low-density solution and then making a continuous gradient (mixed loading). There were no significant differences between the 2 purification methods in terms of the islet yield, rate of viability or purity, score, or in the stimulation index after purification. Furthermore, there were no marked differences in the attainability or suitability of posttransplantation normoglycemia. Our study shows the equivalency of these 2 methods of islet purification.
