The effect of alginate encapsulation on cell retention within the ischaemic murine hindlimb. a Tie2-iBMMs stained with VivoTrack680 biofluorescent dye were either directly injected (nTie2-iBMMs) into the ischaemic limb of mice or encapsulated within alginate (eTie2-iBMMs), and their retention tracked using an IVIS Spectrum In Vivo Imaging System over 28 days. b The average radiance efficiency at each time point was normalised to day 0 and compared between treatment groups (n = 4/group, P < 0.0001 by two-way ANOVA *P = 0.05 **P = 0.01 by Bonferroni post-test, error bars = s.e.m.)
