Ex-vivo evaluation of gene therapy vectors in human pancreatic (cancer) tissue slices

Figure 3 Viability of human pancreas tissue slices cultured ex-vivo for up to 6 d. A: Viability of explants cultured in 1 mL DMEM (black line) or in DMEM supplemented with ITS growth factors (dashed line) was determined at day 1, 3, 4 and 6 of culturing a WST assay. All data given as the means of at least five slices ± SD; B: Normal pancreas with good viability at day 6; C: Normal pancreas of good viability at day 6 with Langerhans and nerve cells; D: Normal pancreas at day 6 with necrotic areas.
