Use of polyacrylamide gel for forming a connective-tissue capsule in a mammal for cultivating allogenic and xenogenic cells
First Claim
1. A method of forming in a mammal a connective tissue capsule for maintaining transplanted allogenic or xenogenic cells comprising introducing a polyacrylamide gel into a tissue of the mammal so as to cause the connective tissue capsule to form around the polyacrylamide gel, wherein the mammal suffers from a pathology and the method comprises introducing into and maintaining in said connective tissue capsule transplanted allogenic or xenogenic cells that aid in treating the pathology.

Abstract
The invention relates to the field of medicine and more particularly it relates to the problem of vaccination against tumor cells and vaccinotherapy of oncological diseases, and also to a method of treating diabetes mellitus. In the invention a new method of cultivating cells is proposed, which contemplates forming a capsule of a polyacrylamide gel in the tissue of an animal, including a human, into which capsule desirable cells are injected. The invention provides for maintaining the viability of cells during a long period of time.
