Lymphocyte resistance to cold anabiosis of different degree.

We studied the resistance of human blood T and B lymphocytes to cold anabiosis (-20 degrees C, -40 degrees C, and -80 degrees C) of different duration.

Phagocytic activity of neutrophils and lymphocytes at various periods of storage in the state of cold anabiosis (-40 degrees C).

We studied changes in phagocytic activity of neutrophils and lymphocytes subjected to cold anabiosis. The proposed effective method for introduction of human blood leukocytes into cold anabiosis at moderately low temperature (-40 degrees C) in the presence of a cryopreserving agent does not require washout of the biological material after defrosting.
