Figure 5. Activation of RAW 264.7 macrophages incubated for 8 hours on a 20wt% THP-crosslinked RLP only hydrogel, measured through production of TNF-α.

Figure 5

The same number of RAW264.7 murine macrophages were cultured on the surface of TCPS supplemented with 1ng/mL LPS derived from E coli. as a positive control, on the surface of TCPS without LPS as negative control, and directly on the surface of THP cross-linked RLP hydrogels (20wt%). Macrophages cultured on these surfaces and all hydrogels showed 100% viability (not shown). Error bars correspond to standard deviation from the mean; the TNF-α expression is not statistically different between TCPS and RLP hydrogels; *(p<0.0001) the difference is statistically significant between the indicated groups determined via Student’s t-test analysis.
