  • NUCLEATED CELL PRESERVATION BY LYOPHILIZATION
    Publication number: 20210368782
    Abstract: The invention provides freeze-dried nucleated cells, a method for preparing them, and methods of using them for in vitro assays and in vivo therapeutic treatments. The method for preparing the cells includes incubating cells in the presence of a cryoprotective sugar to load them with the sugar, then lyophilizing them without separating the cells from the cryoprotective sugar. In embodiments, the cells are also loaded with one or more bioactive agents.

  • Processes for preparing lyophilized platelets
    Publication number: 20060051731
    Abstract: The present invention provides processes for preparing freeze-dried platelets, freeze-dried platelets made by those processes, platelets reconstituted from those freeze-dried platelets, and kits comprising those freeze-dried platelets. The freeze-dried platelets of the invention have similar characteristics to fresh platelets, have an exceptionally long shelf-life, and can be used for all standard procedures in which fresh platelets are used, including both in vitro diagnostic and research procedures and in vivo therapies.
