Automated method for isolation of human pancreatic islets

Department of Pathology, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, MO 63110.
We describe an automated method for the isolation of human pancreatic
islets. The procedure meets the following requirements: 1) minimal
traumatic action on the islets, 2) continuous digestion in which the islets
that are progressively liberated can be saved from further enzymatic
action, 3) minimal human intervention in the digestion process, and 4) high
yield and purity of the isolated islets. After purification on Ficoll
gradients, an average of 164,600 islets/pancreas was obtained (2279
islets/g), with an average purity of 78.5% islets. The average volume and
average insulin content of the final islet preparation were 348 mm3 and
93.4 U, respectively. The islets were morphologically intact with a normal
degree of beta-granulation and responded to glucose stimulation with a
fivefold increase of insulin secretion over basal levels. The procedure is
now being used for the initiation of the second phase of clinical trials on
human islet transplants.
