Summary

A significant reduction in immunogenicity was observed with allogeneic cardiac valves cryopreserved using cooling rates of 10, 30, and higher than 100 K/min. A decrease in viability was observed at cooling rates of more than 1 K/min. The feasibility of cryoimmunomodulation of allogeneic cardiac valves with the maintenance of viability of a proportion of cells was demonstrated.
