Bone-marrow Stromal Cells Exert Immunosuppressive Effects on Immune Cells Co-cultivated in 3D Alginate Scaffolds

Research output: Contribution to journalMeeting Abstractpeer-review

Abstract

Stromal cells have been shown to exert a potent immunosuppressive effect on immune cells when co-cultivated on flat two-dimensional (2D) dishes1 . Yet, 2D cell cultivation may not reliably represent cell function in a physiological setting.
In this work we investigated whether stromal cells would exert immunosuppression on bone marrow derived dendritic cells (BMDC) and T cells, when co-cultured within 3D porous alginate scaffolds2 . Alginate scaffolds herein are replacing the extracellular matrix (ECM), providing both a physical support and biological
cues for the seeded cells and closing the gap to in vivo conditions.
