Abstract
Cryopreservation of isolated islets of Langerhans would be a necessary procedure for realizing clinical pancreatic islet grafting for treatment of diabetes mellitus (Rajotte et al., 1981; Ricordi et al., 1988). However, little is known about the viability of isolated islets after the cryopreservation procedure, particularly in regard to their potential for revascularization after transplantation.
