Therefore, we established a semiautomated digestion method for isolating islets from the porcine pancreas. However, although the isolation technique was standardized and collagenase of controlled quality was used, we were unable to attain high islet yields with a satisfactory degree of reproducibility. One hypothesis was that varying degrees of interference by donor pancreatic enzymes were responsible for this failure. The aim of this stUdy was to examine the kinetics of four types of enzymatic activity during the isolation procedure, as well as their effects on islet yield: collagenase, trypsin, neutral protease, and clostripaln. Our results indicate that while exogenous collagenase activity decreases slightly during the isolation procedure, the activity of the pancreas enzymes neutral protease and trypsin increases. In some cases, trypsin activity increases very strongly. A strong increase in trypsin activity correlates with poor islet yield, whereas low trypsin activity always correlates with high islet yield. Addition of the protease inhibitor Pefabloc to the isolation medium results in low trypsin activity and reproducible high islet yields.}, subject = {Langerhans-Inseln}, language = {en} } @article{UlrichsBosseWackeretal.1994, author = {Ulrichs, Karin and Bosse, M. and Wacker, HH and Heiser, A. and M{\"u}ller-Ruchholtz, W.}, title = {Histologic analysis of the porcine pancreas to improve islet yield and integrity after collagenase digestion}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-45166}, year = {1994}, abstract = {No abstract available}, subject = {Chirurgie}, language = {en} } @article{UlrichsEcksteinKorsgrenetal.1994, author = {Ulrichs, Karin and Eckstein, V. and Korsgren, O. and Tibell, A. and Groth, C.
