    Abstract: The present invention is related to a method for storing melanocytes. The melanocytes suspension of the present invention can be stored at a temperature range from 4° C. to 22.5° C., wherein the storage temperature for baby melanocytes suspension ranges from 4° C. to 15° C. The viability of the cells after 48 hours of storage at such temperature range is at least 71% of that of the pre-stored cells. The storage temperature for adult melanocytes suspension ranges from 10° C. to 22.5° C. The viability of the cells after 24 hours of storage at such temperature range is at least 72% of that of the pre-stored cells. Meanwhile, storage of the melanocytes at such temperature range prevents the aggregation of the melanocytes. The melanocytes suspension can be used for the treatment of leukoderma as well as other conditions that result from the lack of melanocytes.
