Calcium crosslinker enhanced activation markers of encapsulated DCs compared to barium crosslinker. (A) After 24 h in culture, supernatants from DCs encapsulated in barium (10 mM) or calcium (100 mM) alginate beads, in the absence or presence of LPS, were collected and assayed for IL-1β. (B) DCs were extracted from beads and analyzed for CD86 and MHC class II using flow cytometry. Asterisks indicate that the calcium condition is significantly different from the barium condition. **P ≤ 0.001.
