<p>PURPOSE:To improve a survival ratio of animal cells maintaining their functions without using a specific device by embedding a mass of the animal cells in a specific colloid solution after forming the mass of the cells, keeping the solution at a predetermined temperature and efficiently transporting the animal cells. CONSTITUTION:This method for efficiently transporting animal cells is to form a gel layer of collagen such as type 1 collagen having no telopeptide, culture the animal cells such as primary cultured hepatic cells or primary cultured mammary gland cells to form a mass of the cells, embed the mass of the cells in a specific colloid solution and transport the embedded cells by keeping them in a temperature range in which the colloidal solution exists as a gel state. The colloidal solution has the following specific characteristics; the solution becomes a sol state by heating and a gel state by cooling, contains gelatin as a main component in the concentration range of 1-20 % and has the transformation temperature between the sol state and the gel state in the range of 4-39 deg.C.</p> |
