Biocompatibility of hydrogel assessed in vitro. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were incubated with PBS (negative control), vicryl suture, SP hydrogel, VS polymer, Cys polymer or LPS (positive control) and evaluated for cytokine gene activation after 18 hours. Gene activation in the presence of hydrogel and its constituents were not significantly different from PBS control. *(p<0.05). Mean ± SEM, n=3.
