Table 1 Structural maintenance and cell viability after vitrification of triple-layered rabbit chondrocyte sheets
From: Development of a novel vitrification method for chondrocyte sheets
Vitrification method | Presence of COOH-PLL in VS* | No. of cell sheets recovered without fracture / No. of cell sheets examined (%) | Cell viability (mean ± SEM) |
|---|---|---|---|
Non-vitrified control |  | 8/8 (100) | 94.6 ± 0.5a |
Coating | + | 10/10 (100) | 92.1 ± 0.9a |
- | 1/8 (12.5) | 91.9 ± 0.7a | |
Envelope | + | 7/7 (100) | 86.8 ± 0.7b |
Dish | + | 7/7 (100) | 77.6 ± 3.15c |
