Adaption of neutral protease activity for islet isolation from the long-term two-layer method-stored pig pancreas.
BACKGROUND: Islet release from the pancreas is mediated by both collagenase and neutral protease (NP), a critical effector of islet integrity. To prove the hypothesis that adjustment of NP reduces islet damage after prolonged ischemia, adult pig pancreata were digested after 7-hour preservation by t...
