Design of Antibody-Functionalized Polymeric Membranes for the Immunoisolation of Pancreatic Islets
An immunoencapsulation strategy for pancreatic islets aimed to reduce the risk of rejection in transplanted patients due to the immune response of the host organism is proposed. In this sense, a polyethylene glycol (PEG) hydrogel functionalized with an immunosuppressive antibody (Ab), such as Cytoto...
