Cell freezing medium

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific

Cell freezing medium is a specialized liquid solution designed to protect cells during the freezing process. It helps to maintain the viability and integrity of cells by preventing damage from ice crystal formation and osmotic stress. This product is intended for use in cryopreservation of various cell types.

Isolation and Cryopreservation of PBMCs

Separated plasma was aliquoted and stored at −20 °C. The extracted PBMCs were frozen in cell freezing medium (Gibco) and stored in a deep freezer (−80 °C). The number of total cells was counted, and the relative proportions of cell populations was determined by flow cytometry using surface markers for T cells, B cells, NK cells, and monocytes.

PBMC Isolation and Characterization

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from 8 ml of whole blood by a CPT tube system (BD Sciences). The separated plasma was aliquoted and stored at -20°C. The extracted PBMCs were frozen in cell-freezing medium (Gibco) and stored in a deep freezer (-80°C). After thawing the samples, the number of total cells was counted (Beckman Coulter AcT/Diff), and the relative proportions of cell populations were determined by flow cytometry using surface markers. Subsets of T cells (CD3+), B cells (CD19+), NK cells (CD16+ CD56+), and monocytes (CD14+) were identified. In addition, cell viability was checked, and the percentage of dead cells was determined.

hMSCs were isolated from fresh bone marrow aspirate purchased from Lonza (donor 18-year-old black female). Following previously published protocols13 (link),22 , hMSCs were isolated based on preferential adhesion to tissue culture polystyrene plates. Freshly isolated hMSCs were detached with 0.05% trypsin–EDTA (Sigma) and subsequently centrifuged, counted, and frozen in Cell Freezing Medium (Thermo Fisher). Only passage 2 or 3 cells were used for all encapsulation experiments. Growth media consisted of low glucose (1 ng/mL glucose) Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium (ThermoFisher) supplemented with 10% FBS (ThermoFisher), 1 ng/ml fibroblast growth factor basic (bFGF) (Life Technologies), 50 U/ml penicillin (ThermoFisher), 50 μg/ml streptomycin (ThermoFisher), 0.5μg/ml of Amphotericin B (ThermoFisher). For secretion experiments, the same media was used sans bFGF (referred to as Experimental Media).

Immediately after euthanasia, rMSCs were isolated from the bone marrow of the humerus of each rat. Briefly, the humerii from each rat was removed, the ends of the bone cut, and the bone marrow flushed with growth media and plated directly onto tissue culture plates. rMSCs were cultured in alpha modified Eagle medium (alpha-MEM, Stem Cell Technologies) with nucleosides supplemented with 50 μg/mL penicillin (Gibco), 50 μg/mL streptomycin (Gibco), and 1 μg/mL fungizone (Gibco) containing 10% (vol/vol) fetal bovine serum (Gibco). Media was changed every 2-3 days. After 10 days (70-80% confluency), rMSCs from each individual rat were frozen down in a solution of 40% growth media, 40% FBS and 20% DMSO. Passage 1 (P1) rMSCs from individual rats were pooled, expanded for an additional 7-10 days, and frozen at P2 in Cell Freezing Medium (ThermoFisher). All experiments used P3 pooled SHAM and OVX rMSCs.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
