[Biomicrocapsule membrane for cell and tissue transplantation].
OBJECTIVE
To Provide a simple and safe way in protecting living cells from immune rejection for transplantation therapies.


METHODS
Enclose cells in Alginate-poly-l-lysine (APA) biomicrocapsules which have to be satisfied the following requirements: 1. biocompatibility, 2. strength, 3. permeability.


RESULTS
The transplanted cells survived and had prominence therapy function in experimental animals.


CONCLUSIONS
Biomicrocapsules are feasible tools for cells immune-transplantation.
