Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study involves collecting serum samples from patients presenting for aortic valve replacement at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN. Serum samples will be collected pre-op, between 2 weeks and 3 months, between 3-11 months (optional), and between 12-18 months post-operatively. The patients antibodies in these serum samples will be used to capture proteins from the same type of tissue their replacement heart valves are made from (i.e., bovine/porcine pericardium - a non-human tissue which is currently used to make glutaraldehyde-fixed heart valves). The captured proteins will be identified, and compared over time (i.e., 0, 1, 3 and 12 months) to determine which proteins (i.e., antigens) in bovine/porcine pericardium that the patient is mounting an immune response towards.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Protein G HP SpinTrap columns will be used to capture IgG antibodies from patient serum pre-implant, between 2 weeks-3 months, between 3-11 months and between 12-18 months post-implant. These antibodies will be cross-linked to the column and then protein extracted from implant tissue (ie Native bovine/porcine pericardium) will be deglycosylated and run through the column. Antigenic proteins will be trapped and non-antigenic proteins will be washed through the column. These antigenic proteins will be eluted off the column and identified using LC-MS/MS. The proteins identified in the pre-implant elutant will be compared to the proteins in post-implant elutant to identify xenoantigens. Success criteria will be method validation by identification of previously known and new currently unknown xenoantigens.
