  • Cryopreservation of primate embryonic stem cells
    Patent number: 7811819
    Abstract: Primate embryonic stem cells are cryopreserved by resuspension in a freezing medium and slow cooling at a controlled rate. In some embodiments, prior to the controlled freezing step, the suspension of cells is cooled to a temperature just below freezing, and ice crystal formation is induced. The cryopreserved cell aggregates are useful in transplantation, for experimental evaluation, and as a source of lineage and cell specific products, and as targets for the discovery of factors or molecules that can affect them.
