Assessment of the Reproducibility of Alginate Encapsulation of Pancreatic Islets Using the MTT Colorimetric Assay

Radioisotope diffusion experiments demonstrate that alginate/polyaminoacid encapsulation can prevent antibody and cytotoxic cell contact in vitro. The unpredictable outcome of xenotransplantation of encapsulated islets may reflect incomplete encapsulation. We have assessed a cytotoxic/MTT (tetrazoli...
