Procedure of 3D cytotoxicity assay and its outputs. (a) Schematic process of the assay. HeLa cells embedded in collagen were patterned under low rails (Day 0). After 24 h of cultivation, NK-92 cells were loaded into a microchannel formed by the hydrogel. By tilting the device at an angle of 90°, NK-92 cells were deposited on a collagen block (Day 1) and cultured for additional 24 h to observe migration and cytotoxic activity of NK cells. (b) Initial state of the assay (Day 1). (c,d) Live monitoring of migration and cytotoxic activity of NK-92 cells. Time is indicated in HH:MM in the top right corner of each image.
