Effects of medium and hypothermic temperatures on preservation of isolated porcine testis cells
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The effects of medium and hypothermic temperatures on testis cells were investigated to develop a strategy for their short-term preservation. Testes from 1-week-old piglets were enzymatically dissociated for cell isolation. In Experiment 1, testis cells were stored at either room (RT) or refrigeration (RG) temperature for 6 days in one of 13 different media. Live cell recovery was assayed daily using trypan blue exclusion. In Experiment 2, three media at RG were selected for immunocytochemical and in vitro culture studies. Live cell recovery was also assayed daily for 6 days using both trypan blue exclusion and a fluorochrome assay kit. For all media tested, significantly or numerically more live cells were maintained at RG than RT. On preservation Day 3 at RG (cell isolation day as Day 0), 20% FBS-Leibovitz resulted in the highest live cell recovery (89.5 + or - 1.7%) and DPBS in the lowest (60.3 + or - 1.9%). On Day 6 at RG, 20% FBS- Leibovitz also resulted in the best preservation efficiency with 80.9 + or - 1.8% of Day 0 live cells recovered. There was no difference in live cell recovery detected by the two viability assays. After preservation, the proportion of gonocytes did not change, whereas that of Sertoli and peritubular cells increased and decreased, respectively. After 6 days of hypothermic preservation, testis cells showed similar culture potential to fresh cells. These results show that testis cells can be preserved for 6 days under hypothermic conditions with a live cell recovery of more than 80% and after-storage viability of 88%.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
