METHOD FOR STORING DENTAL PULP TISSUE AND METHOD FOR CULTURING STEM CELLS FROM STORED DENTAL PULP TISSUE

摘要

To provide methods for storing dental pulp tissue collected from animal's teeth and to provide simple and effective methods in the isolation culture of stem cells from stored dental pulp tissue.SOLUTION: The present invention provides a method for storing dental pulp tissue comprising chopping pulp tissue collected from a living body so that the maximum length is 2 mm or less; immersing the pulverized dental pulp tissue into a cryoprotective solution so that the weight of the pulp tissue/(the weight of the pulp tissue + the weight of the cryoprotective solution) is 10 wt% or more and less than 50 wt%; and placing the chopped dental pulp tissue and cryoprotective solution in a container and cryopreserving it in an environment of -80°C or less.SELECTED DRAWING: None
