The role of an immune response in the failure of bioprosthetic heart valves is poorly understood and disregarded by many. To elucidate the nature of the immune response to glutaraldehyde-treated tissue and the possible role of graft-specific antibody in graft mineralization, we performed immune-calcification studies in the rabbit and correlated those results with the analysis of specific antibodies.
