A preservative solution for low temperature preservation of animal or human organs and animal or plant tissues or cells contains D-allose. For the human kidney, cells derived from animals or humans, or human or animal sperm and/or ovum and/or fermented ovum, the preservation is conducted at from &#x2212;5 to 20&#xb0; C. For cells derived from animals or humans, or human or animal sperm and/or ovum and/or fermented ovum, the preservation is conducted at a temperature at which to start freezing to &#x2212;196&#xb0; C. A method for the low temperature preservation of an animal or human organ and an animal or plant tissue or cell at a low temperature comprises (a) refluxing or immersing a preservative solution containing D-allose and the organ or the tissue or mixing the cell therewith, and (b) cooling the organ, the tissue or the cell to a low temperature of from &#x2212;5 to 20&#xb0; C.

Preservative solution for cells, tissues and organs containing rare sugar and preservative method thereof

A method of utilizing the physiological activity of a rare saccharide, wherein physiological-activity sensitive cells are treated with the rare saccharide to modify the function of the cells. A composition containing, as an active ingredient, a rare saccharide which is introduced into physiological-activity sensitive cells and has an effect of modifying the function of the cells. The cells are human cells. The composition is a functional food, a drug, or a cosmetic. The rare saccharide is a rare saccharide belonging to aldose and/or ketose. The aldose is D-allose, and the cells are selected from the group consisting of cancer-cell proliferation inhibitory activity sensitive cells and active-oxygen production inhibitory activity sensitive cells. The ketose is D-psicose, and the cells are selected from the group consisting of chemokine secretion inhibitory activity sensitive cells, microglia migration inhibitory activity sensitive cells, and hypoglycemic activity sensitive cells.
