Highly Purified versus Filtered Crude Collagenase: Comparable Human Islet Isolation Outcomes

Abstract

This study was designed to retrospectively compare the impact of crude Sigma V collagenase (Sigma V, n = 52) with high-purified Serva NB1 collagenase (Serva NB1, n = 42) on human islet isolation outcomes. A three-step filtration was applied to the crude Sigma V to remove endotoxin contamination and impurities; in addition, this process was used as a lot prescreening tool. Isolation outcomes were determined by digestion efficacy, islet yields, …
