    摘要: The present invention is directed to a method of treating a patient with diabetes by implanting an improved macrocapsule containing living islet cells in the patient. The improved macrocapsules encapsulate microcapsules containing islet cells, to make the system more biocompatible by decreasing the surface area and surface roughness of microencapsulated biological materials; increasing stability of microencapsulated islet cells; enhancing cytoprotectivity by increasing diffusion distance of encapsulated islet cells from cytotoxins secreted in vivo; providing retrievability of microencapsulated material; and providing a system of sustained release of the cellular products.

    摘要: In accordance with the present invention, it has been discovered that a major reason for the failure to achieve successful in vivo transplantation in large mammalian species has been flaws associated with the design of microcapsules taught in the prior art, flaws in the method of making such microcapsules, and a lack of tests to determine if a given microcapsule will be successful. In accordance with the present invention, a number of functional properties which must be met by a microcapsule in order to achieve successful in vivo transplantation in large animal models have been identified. These properties include (i) a mechanically stable capsule core, (ii) a mechanically strong capsule membrane (i.e., the membrane must be of sufficient strength to prevent capsule disruption), (iii) the absence of excess exposed positively-charged PLL (which leads to fibrosis), and (iv) an adequate level of diffusion of the entrapped biologically active material out of the capsule.

    摘要: An aqueous composition, initially present as a two-phase gradient, useful for separation of two cell types, such as islet cells from acinar cells, is disclosed, as well as a method of separating the cells. The composition is comprised of a water soluble, metabolically inert substance which maintains density, osmolarity and pH in the presence of cells, and a physiological cold storage solution comprising viscosity modifiers to increase the viscosity and osmotically active impermeant agents for suppressing cold-induced cellular edema, and also comprising a physiological solution capable of maintaining viable cells. These solutions are present in various combinations in a concentration sufficient to provide a first solution with a density greater than both cell types in their natural state, and less than the second cell type after incubation in said solution, and a second solution having a density less than that of both cell types. The system is allowed to stand or is centrifuged to separate the cells.
