Significant interest exists in the application of trehalose, which has low permeability to the phospholipid bilayer, as a non-toxic intracellular cryopreservative for mammalian cells. Introduction of between 8 ± 3 mM and 266 ± 22 mM trehalose into human erythrocytes using the membrane permeabilizing polymer PP-50 allowed investigation of the relationship between intracellular trehalose concentration, pre-freeze cell volume, and cryosurvival. Cellular cryosurvival increased approximately linearly with pre-freeze cell volume up to the normal volume of fresh cells; diminished cell survival correlated with subnormal pre-freeze cell volume in some cases even at >100 mM intracellular trehalose concentration. Uptake of >200 mM trehalose in cells with near-normal cell volume facilitated enhancement of cellular cryosurvival by up to 15 ± 5%.
