A Novel Method for the Assessment of Cellular Composition and Beta-Cell Viability in Human Islet Preparations
8 Jun 2005
Abstract excerpt
Current methodologies to evaluate islet cell viability are largely based on tests that assess the exclusion of DNA-binding dyes. While these tests identify cells that have lost selective membrane permeability, they do not allow us to recognize apoptotic cells, which do not yet stain with DNA-binding dyes. Furthermore, current methods of analysis do not discriminate between cell subsets in the preparation and, in...
