Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cell cryopreservation, specifically to a cryopreservation solution combination and its cryopreservation method, which is particularly suitable for cryopreserving single-collected blood. Background Technology

[0002] Cell cryopreservation technology is an important component of cell therapy and immunotherapy. Especially in the field of immunocellular therapy, cells such as T cells, NK cells, and γδT cells have demonstrated significant therapeutic potential in clinical practice. However, existing cell cryopreservation technologies face significant challenges in long-term preservation and thawing, such as delayed apoptosis and decreased cell viability, which severely impact their clinical efficacy.

[0003] Currently, commonly used cell cryopreservation solutions can protect cells to some extent, but existing cryopreservation methods still result in significant delayed apoptosis after cell thawing. This delayed apoptosis leads to low cell viability after thawing, frequent cell clumping and lysis, and decreased cell function, severely impacting clinical application. In particular, there is currently no cryopreservation solution specifically designed for apheresis blood samples.

[0004] Apheresis refers to blood collected using a blood component separator, containing primarily mononuclear cells, along with a small number of red blood cells, granulocytes, and plasma components. Unlike PBMCs, apheresis blood is a composite component and does not require cell separation, making it more suitable for large-scale culture of target cells in practical applications. Immune cells in apheresis samples have broad application prospects in disease diagnosis, drug analysis, antibody research, and cell therapy. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a cryopreservation solution and method for high-quality preservation of immune cells in apheresis samples. Summary of the Invention
