Murine peritoneal macrophages were immobilized in calcium alginate gel macrobeads, using 1.5% Na-alginate and 50 mM CaCl2. Secretion of IL-1 by immobilized macrophages increased during time and reached 10 fold than IL-1 quantities secreted by adherent macrophages. Calcium and alginate individually enhance production of IL-1 by macrophages and act in synergy when macrophages are immobilized in calcium alginate matrix.
