METHODS AND REAGENTS FOR MAINTAINING THE VIABILITY OF CANCER CELLS IN SURGICALLY REMOVED TISSUE

摘要

A composition and method for generating reagents and the composition of these reagents for the stabilization and preservation of viability of cancer tissue which has been surgically excised and the suspension and/or termination of apoptosis (cell death) by significant modulation of cell metabolism by low molar concentrations of synergistic chemistries and hormonal growth enhancers while maintaining normal gene expression patterns of the surgically excised tissue.

主权项

1. A method of producing a reagent for tissue samples, the method comprising:
providing at least one chaotrope; providing at least one kosmotrope; providing a chelator; providing a buffer; providing a apoptosis substrate; providing a metabolic modulator; and mixing the chaotrope, kosmotrope, chelator, buffer, apoptosis substrate, and the metabolic modulator in a specific order to enable the gene expression analysis of the tissue sample placed in the reagent.
