A Current Review of Synthetic Meshes in Abdominal Wall Reconstruction.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The α-gal epitope is a carbohydrate antigen that interacts specifically with the natural anti-Gal antibody--the most abundant antibody in humans. Anti-Gal/α-gal epitope interaction activates complement to generate chemotactic factors that induce rapid recruitment of macrophages. The authors hypothesized that...
