Abstract

The noninvasive quality estimation of adherent mammalian cells for transplantation is reviewed. The quality and heterogeneity of cells should be estimated before transplantation because cultured cells are not homogeneous but heterogeneous. The estimation of cell quality should be performed noninvasively because most protocols of regenerative medicine are autologous cell system. The differentiation level and contamination of other cell lineage could be estimated by two-dimensional cell morphology analysis and tracking using a conventional phase contrast microscope. The noninvasive determination of the laser phase shift of a cell using a phase-shifting laser microscope, which might be more noninvasive, and more useful than the atomic force microscope and digital holographic microscope, was carried out to determine the three-dimensional cell morphology, and the estimation of the cell cycle phase of each adhesive cell and the mean proliferation activity of a cell population. Chemical analysis of the culture supernatant by conventional analytical methods such as ELISA was also useful to estimate the differentiation level of a cell population. Chemical analysis of cell membrane and intracellular components using a probe beam, an infrared beam, and Raman spectroscopy was useful for diagnosing the viability, apoptosis, and differentiation of each adhesive cell.
