FIG. 3.

Anti-Gal (A) and anti-non-gal IgG antibody response (B) in two representative orthopedic patients implanted with engineered pig patellar tendon for the replacement of ruptured ACL. Patient 1, open columns; Patient 2, closed columns. Anti-Gal antibody activity was determined by ELISA with α-gal linked to bovine serum albumin as solid-phase antigen. Anti-non-gal antibody activity was determined with anti-Gal-depleted sera (adsorption on glutaraldehyde-fixed rabbit red cells), by ELISA with homogenate of fragmented pig tendon as solid-phase antigen. The figure shows antibody binding at serum dilution of 1:640 (based on data presented in Ref.28).
