solution, and standardized process parameters were used for the encapsulation of the cells.
ICR male mice (NaraBiotec), 8–10 weeks old with a body weight of 16–20 g, were used for this experiment. The control group and test groups were injected with 1
ml of 1 × 107 non-encapsulated or encapsulated HEK-293T (Luc-2) cells, respectively. The survival rates of the encapsulated
HEK-293 (Luc-2) cells were then compared to those of the non-encapsulated HEK-293T (Luc-2) cells. In vivo bioluminescent imaging was performed
immediately after injection, and 1 d, 3 d and 7 d post-injection, using a Xenogen IVIS 200 (Xenogen IVIS 200, PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA, U.S.A.) in Chuncheon
Center of Korea Basic Science Institute. The animals were injected with 100 µl of D-lucferin (D-lucferin, PerkinElmer) intraperitoneally 15 min
before imaging.
