  • 4333 Accesses

Zusammenfassung

Die Kryokonservierung von menschlichen Zellen hat sich seit den Publikationen über die erste Schwangerschaft (Trounson u. Mohr 1983) bzw. Geburt (Zeilmaker et al. 1984) nach Kryokonservierung eines Embryos bzw. einer unfertilisierten Eizelle (Chen 1986) in der klinischen Routine eines jeden reproduktionsmedizinischen Labors etabliert. Der Begriff Kryokonservierung bezieht sich auf die Lagerung vitaler Zellen und Gewebe bei normalerweise –196°C.
