| 摘要 |
The invention provides a substantially non-immunogenic submucosal xenograft for implantation into humans. The invention further provides methods for preparing the xenograft by removing at least a portion of a submucosa from a non-human animal; washing the xenograft in saline and alcohol; subjecting th e xenograft to cellular disruption treatment; and digesting the xenograft with a glycosidase to remove surface carbohydrate moieties. The invention also provides an article of manufacture produced by the above-identified method. The invention further provides a submucosal xenograft for implantation into a human including a portion of a submucosal tissue from a non-human animal, wherein the portion has substantially no surface carbohydrate moieties that are susceptible to glycosidase digestion. Each of the xenografts has substantially the same mechanical properties as native soft tissue.
