After culture of dental pulp MSCs in the third passage MSCs were loaded to a mucoadhesive hydrogel based on chitosan, cross-linked with genipin, and modified with catechol groups. A dental nickel hypersensitivity model was created by administering NiCl2 and 10 μg/mL LPS to 4-6-week-old Balb-c mice by intradermal injection.
