Abstract
More efficient methods of islet isolation must be developed for islet transplantation to become clinically routine. During collagenase dispersal of human pancreas, an amorphous, viscous, gellike material often develops and entraps large numbers of islets, thereby reducing the yield. When donor human pancreas is minced and treated with collagenase, the gel forms most abundantly if the digestion temperature is 106 islets per donor.
