Alginate gels enhanced IL-1β secretion from encapsulated DCs. (A) Photomicrographs were taken of DCs adhered to TCPS or encapsulated in collagen (COL), agarose (AGR) or alginate (ALG) gels 1 h after encapsulation. (B) DCs were cultured without LPS or with LPS. After 24 h, supernatant was collected and analyzed for multiple cytokines. (C) The Ca2+ released into medium from each of the hydrogels was quantified over 10 h. *P ≤ 0.05; **P ≤ 0.001.
