Abstract
Thermotolerant phenotypes are developed in cells, tissues, organs and organisms by the administration of benzoquinonoid ansamycins such as herbimycin A and any of various analogs. The general stress tolerance resulting from this inducement offers benefits in a variety of ways, including rendering surgical patients more able to withstand the rigors of surgery, prolonging the shelf life of organs excised from organ donors, and prolonging the viability of tissue-cultured cells and organs.
