CRYOPRESERVED AMNIOTIC HUMAN CELLS FOR FUTURE THERAPEUTIC, DIAGNOSTIC, GENETIC AND OTHER USES

摘要

This invenion belongs to the field of biotechnology, cryobiology and human therapeutics. Object of the invention are a) amniotic cells originating from amniotic fluid that surrounds the embryo in its early development stages, b) amniotic cells that at early embryonic stage are floating within the human embryo-clone, c) every biological material which will be created directly of idirectly from the above amniotic cells, as well as every biological product or byproduct which will be the outcome of the use of the said cryopreserved amniotic cells, through their reproduction on multiplication under the same or any other modified form and which will possess the same genetic properties and applications.These amniotic cells are isolated from their natural environment and preserved in deep-freezing for very long periods of time after their own natural life span, which is short within their natural environment, that is within the amniotic fluid and within the embryo-clone. The purpose is the genetic and medical use of these cells at a time posterior to their natural destruction. In this way, we succeed to use primal, undifferentiated, genetically identical cells of each human being for diagnosis and therapy of genetic or non-genetic diseases, malfunctions and accidents, where these are known today or shall be applied in the future.
