Effects of cryopreservation on viability of CD14++CD16 monocytes. a Recovery of cryopreserved human monocytes after thawing. b Freshly isolated and cryopreserved cells were analysed for their survival using a trypan blue exclusion method. Relative ratios of the alive-to-dead freshly isolated and cryopreserved monocytes were calculated. ce Freshly isolated and cryopreserved cells were analysed with the MTS viability assay at 0 h, 24 h after isolation or thawing, 2–4 weeks (n = 7) or 4–5 weeks (n = 10) after cryopreservation. Statistics: Kruskal-Wallis test with Dunn’s post test, p value: *p < 0.05
