title: [Effect of glutaraldehyde on the species-specific antigenicity of xenogeneic cartilage].
abstract: Present results showed that an extract of xenogeneic cartilage may inhibit the complement activity of human serum, while an extract of xenogeneic cartilage treated with glutaraldehyde may enhance this effect. This finding suggested that treatment with glutaraldehyde does not decrease species-specific antigenicity of xenogeneic cartilage.
