pubmed:abstractText
Human subjects and Old World primates have high levels of antibody to galactose-?-1,3 galactose ?-1,4-N-acetylglucosamine (?-Gal). Commercially available bioprosthetic heart valves of porcine and bovine origin retain the Gal antigen despite current processing techniques. Gal-deficient pigs eliminate this xenoantigen. This study tests whether binding of human anti-Gal antibody effects calcification of wild-type and Gal-deficient glutaraldehyde-fixed porcine pericardium by using a standard subcutaneous implant model.
