A method is disclosed for reliably stabilizing eukaryotic cells that express the P2X

receptor channel, particularly mammalian and other vertebrate cells, including human cells, for example mammalian macrophages, or hematopoietic stem cells, in order to introduce otherwise membrane-impermeable compounds that are helpful for stabilizing the cells during drying, chilling, freezing, freeze-drying, or cryopreservation. The cells are exposed to extracellular ATP in concentration sufficient to open pores in the plasma membrane. One or more otherwise membrane-impermeable compounds that aid the survivorship of cells are then introduced, for example, trehalose, and after a brief time the pores are closed—for example, by adding divalent cations, or by diluting the extracellular solution. Once the trehalose or other stabilizing compound has been introduced, the cells may be stably preserved. By taking advantage of an endogenous mammalian receptor and ATP, no antigenic compounds need be introduced.

受体通道的真核细胞,特别是哺乳动物和其他脊椎动物细胞,包括人类细胞,例如哺乳动物巨噬细胞或造血干细胞,以便在干燥、冷冻、冷藏、冷冻干燥或低温保存过程中引入有助于稳定细胞的其他膜渗透性化合物。细胞暴露于浓度足以打开质膜孔的细胞外 ATP。然后引入一种或多种有助于细胞存活的膜不透性化合物,例如曲哈洛糖,经过短暂的时间后,孔隙被关闭--例如通过添加二价阳离子或稀释细胞外溶液。一旦引入树胶糖或其他稳定化合物,细胞就可以稳定地保存下来。利用哺乳动物的内源性受体和 ATP,无需引入抗原化合物。
