Briefly, the amnion membrane was removed from the inner layer of the placenta from full-term healthy pregnancies, and washed extensively to remove blood. The amnion membrane was immersed in TrypLE 10x (Gibco) for 30 min at 37°C to release mainly AEC from the amnion membrane. The released AEC were collected and washed by serial centrifugation and filtered through a 100 µm cell strainer to remove undigested tissues or large clamps. Cell viability and yield were determined by the Trypan Blue exclusion and cells immediately exposed to cryopreservation procedure.
