Abstract

Application of C2, C9 and JC-1 dyes for characterizing human fibroblast diploid cell line after cryoconservation was studied. It was shown that these probes might be used to monitor the functional state of cryocenserved cells.
Keywords: fluorescence, probes, human fibroblasts, cell culture, cryoconservation
