Gal antigen expression in the tissues and tissue-derived biomaterials (n = 3).
Tissue/biomaterial | Gal epitopes/mg | Antigen reduction (%) |
---|---|---|
Porcine kidney tissue (Freeze-dried) | (6.32 ± 1.01) ×1017 | |
Porcine dermal tissue (Freeze-dried) | (5.92 ± 1.63) ×1015 | |
Porcine cornea tissue (wet) | (1.54 ± 0.55) ×1013 | |
Bovine pericardial membrane (wet) | (2.49 ± 0.50) ×1015 | |
Biological dural graft (wet) | (1.6 ± 0.02) ×1013 | 99.36%* |
*p < 0.05, Gal antigen was significantly decreased compared to fresh bovine pericardial membrane.
