Thawing after 1 month of cryopreservation, detecting cell viability at 0 hour after thawing, and performing statistics to compare the cryopreservation effects of different cryopreservation solutions on human pluripotent stem cells, as shown in FIG. 1, the ordinate represents H1 cell viability (%) at 0 hour after thawing.
Using pairingstThe data in the figure 1 are analyzed statistically by examination, H1 cells are frozen by using the sample 1-13 cell frozen stock solution through programmed cooling and non-programmed cooling, the H1 cell survival rate is more than 93% after 0 hour of recovery, and the human pluripotent stem cell frozen stock solution can still achieve better technical effect even if protein components are not contained. The H1 cells are frozen by programmed cooling or non-programmed cooling by using the sample frozen liquid of 1-13 cells, and the survival rate of the H1 cells has no significant difference after 0 hour of recovery, so that the non-programmed cooling can be selected when the frozen liquid is frozen, thereby being simple, convenient and quick.
Compared with the control 7-10 cell frozen stock solution, the samples 5 and 11-13 are different in that human serum albumin is added into the control 7-10 cell frozen stock solution, and the result shows that the H1 cell survival rate after 0 hour of recovery has no significant difference no matter H1 cells are frozen by programmed cooling or non-programmed cooling. Demonstrating that the frozen stock solution of the present invention can avoid the use of protein components by the synergistic effect of 3 kinds of signal pathway inhibitors, and can achieve similar technical effects.
Compared with the use of the sample 1-13 cell cryopreservation solution, the use of the controls 1-6 and 11 significantly reduced the H1 cell viability rate 0 hours after resuscitation regardless of programmed or unprogrammed cryopreservation of H1 cells. It is demonstrated that the addition of only 1 or 2 signal pathway inhibitors to the frozen stock solution significantly reduced the technical effect of the frozen stock solution, especially the unprogrammed temperature reduction.
