Here is the abstract reported in the journal Cryobiology: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B6WD5-4C4W32F-1&_co verDate=04%2F30%2F2004&_alid=171610856&_rdoc=1&_fmt=&_orig=search&_qd=1&_cdi =6757&_sort=d&view=c&_acct=C000050221&_version=1&_urlVersion=0&_userid=10&md 5=0e948962ed3ba1014c1d19a9bb89c90f -Bryan Hall Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=24096
