Publisher’s description

Pancreatic islet transplantation by a new method is introduced here : the isolation of islets in an organ preservation solution, the University of Wisconsin solution. A new concept allowing for the first time large-scale isolation and transplantation of consistently near 100% pure islets of Langerhans in a preclinical dog model with fasting normoglycemia up to 3 years posttransplant. Detailed metabolic studies demonstrated normal insulin levels after meals with preservation of gut hormone action stimulating insulin secretion at the mild hyperglycemia after meals. The introduction of the University of Wisconsin solution organ preservation solution for islet isolation at the start of these studies in 1989 is a new concept … and has been shown by now in 2022 , world-wide , to make the future of islet isolation and transplantation methods for insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM).

7. During collagenase digestion at 37-39°C the pancreas falls apart (non-stained pancreatic exocrine tissue and free-ed small blood vessel, at low magnification)
8. Dissociated pancreatic tissue
9. Tissue is further dispersed by aspiration in a syringe, and sieved to remove undigested fragments, ducts and vessels ~ demonstrated by Ms. Jane Field at our islet laboratory.
10. Tissue suspension demonstrating low purity of the islets (stained red by dithizone) obtained by dextran gradient separation after isolation in the RPMI tissue culture solution (dark-brown exocrine fragments remain unstained)
11. Pure islet suspension (after dithizone staining) obtained by density separation in Percoll gradients (in University of Wisconsin solution) after islet isolation in the University of Wisconsin solution (islets are only slightly stained due to poor diffusion over the cell membrane in the preservation solution)
12. Section of highly purified islets obtained by dextran density separation after isolation in the University of Wisconsin solution
13. Islets are autotransplanted by infusion in the spleen of the dog
14. Transplanted islet in section of the spleen of one of the dogs shortly after the onset of fasting hyperglycemia at three months posttransplant (immunostained for insulin)

Lancet Letter 1989 UW Solution Islet Isolation | 20220823

Lancet Letter 1989 UW Solution Islet Isolation | 20220823 | Michel van der Burg | michelvanderburg•com | June 1989 preparing first submission for publication as letter in the Lancet medical journal the new concept of using the UW solution ( the University of Wisconsin organ preservation solution) for isolation and complete purification of islets of Langerhans in the laboratory for transplantation in diabetic patients. Later that year that exciting discovery was presented at meetings in Minneapolis, USA, and Barcelona, Spain. Details in yesterday’s post. Submission for publication as a letter in the Lancet had had no succes ;)

Minneapolis 1989 Poster UW Solution Islet Isolation | 20220822

Minneapolis 1989 Poster • 20240804 • michelvanderburg•com

September 1989 at a symposium of two international societies in Minneapolis, USA (1) , I presented this first poster on the ‘ invention ‘ of using the UW solution ( the University of Wisconsin organ preservation solution) during pancreatic islet isolation, with the exciting discovery of near-complete purification of islets of Langerhans in the laboratory for transplantation in diabetic patients.

The next month at a meeting in Barcelona, Spain, this rather radical new concept was introduced (2, 3). June 1989 submission for publication as a letter in the Lancet had had no succes ;)

Poster designed and produced on my personal Macintosh ED and Imagewriter-II matrix printer, allowing full width printing over multiple pages in landscape (a low cost do-it-yourself discovery by me, at a time when posters were prepared on poster boards by graphical professionals using photography and special lettering techniques for around $400). Original MacDraw II file conversion with LibreOffice Vanilla.

Updates

20240804 – This remastered 20240804 edition of the Minneapolis 1989 poster , now shows the original photo of the islet prep as posted at the meeting in 1989. In addition the correct line spacing is now restored.
The previous poster published online two years ago (20220822) showed a different photo print (higher magnification, and without the bar indicator) of the same islet prep, not the correct image.

Human Islet Purification Miami 1998 • 20181102

Efficacy of the novel iodixanol-UWS density gradient for human islet purification

Slideshow (video) of my January 1999 oral presentation in Igls (Innsbruck), Austria, at the 18th Workshop of the AIDSPIT (Artificial Insulin Delivery Systems, Pancreas and Islet Transplantation) Study Group. (Now known as AIDPIT).

These results of this innovative islet purification method developed in our Leiden islet laboratory (LUMC) were the outcome of work I had done spring 1998 with the islet group of Camillo Ricordi in the “fast track” center for diabetes research at the Diabetes Research Institute in Miami , Florida, USA.

Out Of Service | 20140911

Out Of Service | 20140911 | 1-memo•com | In the morning of 9/11 2001 logistics forced me to officially announce a temporarily – 1 week – ‘out of service’ of our Leiden islet isolation and transplant center. Our center was started earlier that summer of 2001 at the Leiden University Medical Center. So, I decided to have a short vacation abroad – heaven, after being on call 24/7 almost non stop for years. Later that day at home, I was downstairs watching TV — because upstairs near my workroom the central heating was being replaced – when I saw the CNN breaking news about the plane crashing into the World Trade Center. That day would become a landmark in history and the course of my life.

Background image : Microscopy picture I took of purified human Islets of Langerhans – tiny clumps (size around 1/10 mm or 1/25 inch) of 10s to 1000s of cells that produce hormones like insulin – these cells are just visible when you enlarge this 50x microscopy picture : as tiny translucent ‘balls’ or ‘spheres’. The red color is from a stain that binds to the insulin cells.
