Background
Mesenchymal stem cells are cells with self-renewal and multipotential differentiation potential, also called multipotential stromal cells, MSCs for short, belonging to mesoderm, are mainly present in connective tissues and organ interstitium, and comprise: bone marrow, umbilical cord, fat, amnion, dental pulp, placenta, etc. Under proper conditions, the cell can be differentiated into fat, bone, cartilage and other tissue cells. Compared with MSC (mesenchymal stem cell) from bone marrow, the mesenchymal stem cells from umbilical cord, amnion and placenta have the advantages of large number of obtained cells, strong proliferation capacity, large immunoregulation effect, high total amount of secreted cell growth factors, convenience for amplification and passage, no problems of matching, rejection and the like due to convenient material acquisition and no moral and ethical dispute, are extremely suitable for clinical research and application, and are ideal sources of the mesenchymal stem cells.
However, mesenchymal stem cells need to be prepared, separated, efficiently purified and rapidly amplified in a GMP laboratory through a sample, and then cells meeting the standard can be produced. Therefore, the safe preservation of the sample becomes a basic requirement for the production of mesenchymal stem cells. From hospital delivery rooms to GMP laboratories, samples take hours as few as several days, and many days as many as several hours, which causes the number of cells in the samples to be small and the viability to be low due to the influence of factors such as time, temperature, nutrition, etc.
Therefore, the search for a universal preservation solution capable of preserving umbilical cord, amnion and placenta for a long time has been a problem to be solved by those skilled in the art.

Referring to fig. 1, table 1 and table 2, fig. 1 is a diagram of the viability of the mesenchymal stem cells of the umbilical cord after 24h, 48h and 72h are preserved by different preservation methods in example 2 of the present invention, table 1 is the number of the mesenchymal stem cells of the umbilical cord after 24h, 48h and 72h are preserved by different preservation methods, and table 2 is the viability of the mesenchymal stem cells of the umbilical cord after 24h, 48h and 72h are preserved by different preservation methods. The result shows that the umbilical cord can be preserved by the universal preservation solution in the embodiment 1 within 72h, the survival rate of the separated mesenchymal stem cells can be ensured to be more than 90% within 72h, the high activity of the umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells can be maintained to the maximum extent, the extraction degree of the umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells is improved, and the later-stage culture and cost saving of the mesenchymal stem cells are greatly improved. The physiological saline and the DMEM basic culture medium can preserve the umbilical cord within 24 hours, but the number and the survival rate of the obtained umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells are gradually reduced along with the prolonging of time; the umbilical cord stored in the sterile container is lack of water in cells due to loss of liquid environment, so that the umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells are rapidly apoptotic, and the living umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells cannot be separated at 48 h. Compared with the control general-purpose preservation solution 1, the control general-purpose preservation solution 2, the control general-purpose preservation solution 3 and the control general-purpose preservation solution 4, the number of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells and the survival rate of the mesenchymal stem cells preserved by the general-purpose preservation solution in example 1 are obviously higher, which indicates that human albumin, insulin, vitamin C and EGF have synergistic effect in improving the number of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells and the survival rate of the mesenchymal stem cells.

Example 3
One example of a healthy and infectious disease-free neonatal placenta obtained by a cesarean section was taken under aseptic conditions, the placental amniotic membrane was peeled off and evenly divided into 8 parts, which were stored in the universal preservation solution, physiological saline, a DMEM medium, an aseptic container, the control universal preservation solution 1, the control universal preservation solution 2, the control universal preservation solution 3 and the control universal preservation solution 4 of example 1, respectively, and the same mass of amniotic tissue was taken after being preserved at a constant temperature of 4 ℃ for 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours, and then the mesenchymal stem cells of the amniotic membrane were isolated by collagenase digestion, filtered, centrifuged, and counted using trypan blue.
The results refer to table 3, which shows that the universal preservation solution in example 1 has a good preservation effect on amnion, a large amount of mesenchymal stem cells can be separated in 72 hours, and the number of amnion in physiological saline and a DMEM basic culture medium is reduced along with the time extension; because the amnion contains a large amount of water, the amnion can still be preserved for 72h in a sterile container, but the number of mesenchymal stem cells is greatly reduced. Compared with the control universal preservation solution 1, the control universal preservation solution 2, the control universal preservation solution 3 and the control universal preservation solution 4, the number of the amnion mesenchymal stem cells preserved by the universal preservation solution in the embodiment 1 is obviously larger, which indicates that the human albumin, the insulin, the vitamin C and the EGF have a synergistic effect in increasing the number of the preserved amnion mesenchymal stem cells.
