A hydrogel matrix for the storage, manufacture,nfunctional testing, and viral infection testing ofncellular moieties comprises 0.001 to 100m M gelatin, suchnas denatured collagen, and 0.01 to 1000 µM of ancryoprolector, for example dextran. The matrix maynfurther comprise 0.01 to 30 mM of a nitric oxide inhibitornsuch as an L-arginine analog. The hydrogel matrix may fornexample be used in treatments to increase vascularization. |
