Stimulated Insulin Secretion Rates of Encapsulated βTC-tet Cells Explanted from Experimental and Control 2N Mice

	Stimulated insulin secretion rate (pmol/h)
Experimental mice
Day 4 (n=4)	23.6–93.6
Day 8 (n=3)	30.8–47.3
Day 16 (n=7)	28.5–198.5
Control 2N mice
Day 16 (n=4)	Undetected

Explants consisted of random mixtures of cell-free and cell-containing beads and contained unknown numbers of host cells; hence, data are reported as ranges of the insulin secretion rates measured from all the beads explanted from each mouse.
