Encapsulated Cell Technology for the Delivery of Biologics to the Mouse Eye

This technique is a dependable way to deliver any content such as drugs, proteins, or cells to specific locations in tissues or animals. You can track the delivery and tune the release of the contents to fit the experiment you desire. It can be used to treat numerous diseases from wound healing to ocular and cardiac diseases.

The main advantage of this method is the ability to deliver therapeutic cells using alginate microcapsules to the target sites without causing any immune reactions and maintain a sustained delivery of fresh secreted therapeutics for a longer period of time. Begin by culturing retinal epithelial cells according to manuscript directions. Passage the cells when they reach 70 to 80%confluency using standard tissue culture procedures.
