  • Title: The influence of cooling rate and warming rate on the response of renal cortical slices frozen to -40 degrees C in the presence of 2.1 M cryoprotectant (ethylene glycol, glycerol, or dimethyl sulfoxide).

    Abstract:
    Renal cortical slices were treated with 2.1 M cryoprotectant in RPS-2 vehicle solution, cooled at one of four rates to -40 degrees C, then immediately warmed at one of four rates to 25 degrees C for determination of the [K+]/[Na+] after a standard incubation period. Results are presented in the form of survival "topographical maps" or surfaces with the x axis representing [K+]/[Na+]; the y axis, cooling rate; and the z axis, warming rate. The rate of temperature change fell in the range of 0.5 to 10 degrees C/min. The results suggest that when RPS-2 vehicle solution is used for 2.1 M cryoprotectants, Me2SO offers the prospect for greatest post-thaw recovery. With this vehicle-cryoprotective agent combination, the greatest post-thaw recovery is attained with cooling-warming combinations of -3, +4, and -0.5, +10 degrees C/min.
