Evaluation of antimicrobial ability, water retention and biocompatibility. (A) Statistics results of antibacterial radius of OVA, OVA/EM and OVA/EM/DOPs hydrogel, n = 5. (B) Water retention rate of OVA, OVA/EM and OVA/EM/DOPs hydrogel at 4℃, and “*” means P < 0.05, n = 3. (C) Water retention rate of OVA, OVA/EM and OVA/EM/DOPs hydrogel at 37℃, and “*” means P < 0.05, n = 3. (D) Results of live and dead cell staining of L929 cells after co-culture with different concentrations of OVA/EM/DOPs hydrogel, and the scale bar is 100 μm. (E) Results of live and dead cell staining of HEK293T cells after co-culture with different concentrations of OVA/EM/DOPs hydrogel, and the scale bar is 100 μm.
