Cell type scores from AcDex biocompatibility study. On day 7 the cell population around the particles consisted of spindle (immature fibroblast) cells as well as small and large mononuclear cells. No mature fibroblasts or multinucleate giant cells were present at this time point. On day 14 the cell population shifted to include fewer spindle and mononuclear cells, with the addition of fibroblasts and a few multinucleate giant cells. On day 28 the cell population consisted primarily of mature fibroblasts with some remaining mononuclear cells and a few multinucleate giant cells. Score: none (0), minimal (1), mild (2), moderate (3) and severe (4).
