Abstract Serum is a common supplement that is widely used to protect various cells and tissues from cryopreservation because it provides the necessary active components for cell growth and maintenance. In this study, we compared the effects of newborn calf serum (NCS) and fetal bovine serum (FBS) on the cryopreservation of mouse spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs). The isolated SSCs were cryopreserved in two groups: freezing medium that contained 10% DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) and 10% FBS in DMEM (Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium) (group 1) and freezing medium that contained 10% DMSO and 10% NCS in DMEM (group 2). Real-time PCR was performed for stemness gene expression. The SSCs’ viability was performed by trypan blue. We observed that the SSCs had increased viability in the NCS-freeze/thaw group (87.82%) compared to the FBS-freeze/thaw group (79.83%), but this increase was not statistically significant (P  3′)
