Encapsulated Cells Exhibit Less Immune Response Compared to Free Cells. (A) Immunofluorescence representative images of free (left panel) and encapsulated (right panel) GFP-tagged NSC with EC at 2 days showing expression of GFP-tagged NSC, CD45, Iba-1, and Hoechst. (B) Confocal microscopy showing colocalization of anti-GFP, cleaved caspase-3, CD45 and Hoechst in free (top panel) and encapsulated (lower panel) co-culture transplantation groups. Scale bar (25 µm) representative of all images.
