## Abstract Alginate/poly‐L‐lysine(PLL)/alginate capsules are used widely for the microencapsulation of cells. Alginate consists of guluronic acid and mannuronic acid, the ratio and sequence of which affect the properties of the alginate. Using C5‐epimerases, mannuronic acid can be converted to gul
## Abstract Although the transplantation of alginate‐poly‐L‐lysine‐alginate encapsulated islets of Langerhans usually is successful, graft survival is still limited. Molecular analysis by RT‐PCR of the encapsulated islets may provide insight into the mechanisms that affect islets during graft failu
## Abstract The characteristics of the microcapsule surface, which interacts directly with the host macrophages, may have a role in the biocompatibility of alginate‐poly‐L‐lysine (PLL)‐alginate (APA) microcapsule. The objectives of the study were: 1) to develop and validate a simple, rapid, and sen
Membrane molecular weight (MW) cut-off is a critical factor for immunoprotection of transplanted microencapsulated cells as well as for graft survival. Our goal was to study dextran and protein permeation through small (<350 m in diameter) alginate-poly-L-lysine microcapsules made with an electrosta
