Abstract
The present invention is directed to methods of cryopreserving cells and cryopreserved cells prepared according to the methods. In specific embodiments, the method comprises combining cells with a cross-linked hydrogel matrix in particulate form, the matrix comprising a polyglycan cross-linked to a polypeptide and subjecting the combination to cryopreservation conditions. In further embodiments, the invention provides cell-seeded compositions comprising cells and a cross-linked bioactive hydrogel matrix in particulate form, the matrix comprising a polyglycan cross-linked to a polypeptide, wherein the composition has been subjected to cryopreservation conditions. The cryopreserved cells can be thawed and used in methods of treatment without the need for intervening steps to make the cells viable for in vivo use.
