and clinical trials is utilized as a primary method for long-term storage of PBMC for future in
vitro and in vivo applications. The objective of this study was to define the mechanistic
pathways involved in cryopreservation-induced apoptosis of CD4+ T-cells in PBMC, and to
evaluate a cytokine treatment of the cryopreserved samples to rescue apoptosis for the
potential future use of the cryopreserved PBMC. Using cryopreserved PBMC samples …
