Outcome of the first series of human islet purifications with the novel Iodixanol -UWS density gradient — developed originally in the difficult model of pig islet isolation in our Leiden Islet Laboratory of the LUMC (2) — and, performed in 1998 during my working visit at the “fast track” center of the Diabetes Research Institute (Scientific director Prof. C. Ricordi, MD) of the University of Miami , in Miami, Florida, USA .

Notes

Abstracts of previous IPITA meetings had been published in print in scientific journals , however, at the turn of the millennium in 1999, with the rise of the internet , the 7th IPITA congress abstracts were published online only at the official website of the IPITA, in Oxford at the time (www.jr2.ox.ac.uk/ipita), and cannot be retrieved now.
I kept an archive with photocopies of our abstracts published in print in the Abstract Book of the 7th IPITA. Here that abstract of poster presentation P298 at page 169 in the Programme and Abstract Book.
