The current standard assays for islet product release criteria are unable to predict the outcome after clinical islet transplantation. Therefore, establishment of reliable and rapid assays enabling pre-transplantation prediction of islet potency is warranted. In the present study, we have evaluated the adenosine diphosphate (ADP)/adenosine triphosphate (ATP) test, the glucose-stimulated insulin release, the loss of islets during the first 24 h in culture, and the insulin/deoxyribonucleic acid as predictive assays for the ability of isolated porcine islets to cure athymic mice with streptozotocin-induced diabetes. From the results presented, it is concluded that the measurement of the ADP/ATP ratio was the only test that correlated with transplantation outcome. In summary, we propose that the ADP/ATP assay is worthwhile as applied to human islet transplantation and seek to validate it as a rapid and potent predictor of transplant outcome.
