Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A cell cryopreservation method including adding a 1 volume % of a composition comprising 0.01 wt % to 20 wt % of a sophorose lipid to cells in a cell culture medium just before or up to 6 hours before cryopreserving the cells; and cryopreserving the cell culture medium, wherein the composition improves cell viability after cryopreservation compared to cells that are cryopreserved with a similar composition that does not contain the sophorose lipid.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A cell cryopreservation method comprising: adding a 1 volume % of a composition comprising 0.01 wt % to 20 wt % of a sophorose lipid to cells in a cell culture medium just before or up to 6 hours before cryopreserving the cells; and cryopreserving the cell culture medium, wherein the composition improves cell viability after cryopreservation compared to cells that are cryopreserved with a similar composition that does not contain the sophorose lipid. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises 5 wt % to 10 wt % of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). 3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein a 10 volume % to 99 volume % of the composition is added to the cells. 4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises 1 wt % to 50 wt % of a polyhydric alcohol. 5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the polyhydric alcohol comprises at least one of glycerin, ethylene glycol, and propylene glycol. 6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the composition does not contain dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). 7. The method of claim 4 , wherein the polyhydric alcohol is glycerin, and the cells are stem cells. 8. The method of claim 4 , wherein the stem cells are mesenchymal stem cells.
