Abstract
The application of cryopreservation technology to freeze storage of human primary umbilical cord blood lymphocytes is described. The cryopreserved cells remain as sensitive to EB [Epstein-Barr] virus infection and transformation as the fresh autologous lymphocytes. The methodology was satisfactorily applied to primary peripheral blood lymphocytes from adult human sources, and is a convenient time and resource saving advance.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
