摘要:
A novel solution for cryopreservation of a tissue that includes water, a biocompatible buffer, a cell-impermeant constituent, a cell-permeant constituent, and a radical scavenger is disclosed. The solution may be used to preserve the tissue for later transplantation in an animal, including human, host. The radical scavenger is believed to reduce damage to the tissue that could otherwise occur during sterilization with ionizing radiation.
摘要:
An antibiotic composition is provided for use in decontaminating biological tissue. For example, graft tissues for transplantation or preparation For terminal sterilization. The antibiotic composition is a physiological solution includes a antibiotic, such as nisin. The antibiotic solution is effective to substantially inhibit bacterial growth of at least one type of gram-positive bacteria while substantially maintaining the physiological characteristics of the tissue. The method may include contacting the tissue with the antimicrobial composition at a temperature and for a period of time effective to substantially inhibit bacterial growth of the at least one type of gram-positive bacteria while substantially maintaining the physiological characteristics of the tissue.
