For the xenotransplantation research we started in 1991 at our Leiden Surgery Department, I studied pig islet isolation during a working visit February 1992, at the ‘Fondation Transplantation’ in Strasbourg-Hautepierre, France — here watching our student Vincent Nieuwenhuijs (left) at work in the international team – with Agnaldo Soares I guess – using the Ricordi method for islet isolation — and presented the recent Leiden islet work (1).

Islet Transplant Performance 5th ESOT 1991 • Michel van der Burg • Miracles.Media • @1MEMO 20250109_1 • TakeNode 75edbb4e-4360-43b8-8783-363ffd34c0ef
Poster (1) presented at the 5th Congress European Society for Organ Transplantation, Maastricht (The Netherlands) October 7–10, 1991. The poster was originally created on a Macintosh computer Oct 6, 1991, using the MacDraw II application, with graphs from Cricket Graph. That 1991 poster was remastered today in LibreOffice.
We presented 2 posters at the 5th ESOT, this poster (1), and another one on the effects of denervation with pancreas transplantation (2).
Two years after the 4th ESOT (in Barcelona, Nov 1989) where we introduced the UW-Solution as an islet isolation solution before density gradient purification, we now had a talk at this 5th ESOT on the use of the UW-Solution as the islet isolation solution, both before purification, and also during the purification in an innovative density gradient (3) — the foundation for current clinical purification methods. The talk was recorded on tape (except for the intro), and will be posted here soon too.
