Viability of Fresh vs Cultured Pig Islets for Transplants • Cell Transplant Society 1999 Montreux • 20241204
Oral presentation Michel van der Burg, Cell Transplant Society congress 1999 in Montreux, Switzerland
A novel iodixanol density gradient for purification of pancreatic islets was developed in the difficult pig model of islet isolation. Viability of freshly isolated islets is not guaranteed.
After short-term storage of the islets in culture, pig islets restored normal blood sugar levels after xeno transplantation in diabetic mice.

Efficacy of the novel iodixanol-UWS density gradient for human islet purification • Igls Aidspit 1999 • 20241202
I started an archive at Archive.org November 11, 2010 with this slideshow (pdf) of my January 1999 oral presentation in Igls (Innsbruck), Austria, at the 18th Workshop of the AIDSPIT (Artificial Insulin Delivery Systems, Pancreas and Islet Transplantation) Study Group. (Now known as AIDPIT).
The presented results of this innovative islet purification method — developed over nearly 10 years (from 1989) in our Leiden islet laboratory (LUMC) — were the outcome of work I had done spring 1998 with the human islet transplantation group of Camillo Ricordi at the Diabetes Research Institute in Miami , Florida, USA.

ADD Diabetes Group 1989, St Edmund Hall, Oxford • 20241019
Venue of the Seventh Annual Meeting of the Anglo–Danish–Dutch Diabetes Group*, Oxford (UK) July 5–9, 1989.
The first international meeting were our new concept was presented, of pancreatic islet isolation in the University of Wisconsin Solution (UW-Solution or UWS) a solution designed recently for preservation of a donor pancreas during cold storage prior to transplantation.
Quote :
“…A few months ago, we adopted an entirely new approach to islet isolation.
Recently a new cold storage organ preservation solution was developed at the University of Wisconsin, the UW solution, allowing long term, 24 to 72 h, cold storage of the canine pancreas.
Since islet isolation is largely performed in the cold, we tested this preservation solution as the isolation medium throughout the isolation procedure. This slide shows that using the UW solution, purity has increased to over 90%…”
In addition our first successful pre-clinical transplant, we had performed the last month, was reported as breaking news at the end of the talk.
Quote :
“Three weeks ago we did our first autotransplantation of isolated islets from the whole gland by retrograde infusion into the spleen. The dog is doing fine: fasting glucose amounts to 5-6 mM and postprandial glucose between 6-8 mM ; postprandial insulin increases 6-7 fold. Thank you.”

ZX81 • 20241018
Sinclair’s ZX81 computer (1KB on-board memory , with a 64K memory expansion module inserted at the back) – my first PC – that I started using from 1983 for automation of work in our experimental pancreas and islet transplantation research project – for creating (‘coding’) and using the entire suit of apps, needed for the raw data processing and the (statistical and pharmacokinetic) analysis.
The hardware set-up included a TV (B/W) as monitor, (mono audio) tape recorder for data storage (apps), and a small thermal printer.

Press Release • 20241010
While searching my archive today, I encountered the Press release Sep 27, 2001 of the dutch National Health Care Institute (CVZ), advicing the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport (VWS) to grant permission for Transplantation of Islets of Langerhans in the Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC).
That press release is included now (in note 6) in the recent post on the Leiden Islet Laboratory History at the site – https://michelvanderburg.com/2024/08/03/leiden-islet-laboratory-history-20240803/
