Increased Yield and Improved Transplantation Outcome of Mouse Islets with Bovine Serum Albumin
Figure 2
Normal mouse pancreatic islets after collagenase digestion and Ficoll separation with further purification by handpicking. Islets were stained with dithizone (red). The left panel shows islets isolated with BSA; the right panel shows islets isolated without BSA. Close to 100% purity may be achieved with this method. Scale bar indicates size in microns.
