Figure Legend Snippet: Representative histological images of (A) fresh and (B) decellularized porcine pericardium stained with haematoxylin and eosin (H&E), respectively (pink = extracellular matrix; arrowheads = location of cell nuclei; total magnification: 200 ×). Representative histological images of (C) fresh porcine pericardium demonstrating positive (brown) immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining for alphagal epitope and (D) decellularized pericardium illustrating a lack of positive staining (blue = matrix; black = cell nuclei; total magnification: 200 ×; inserts = negative IHC controls). (E) Ethidium bromide-stained agarose gels for DNA isolated from fresh (lanes 1–5) and decellularized (lanes 6–10) pericardium (white bands = presence of DNA). A 300–24 000-bp DNA standard ladder (lanes 11–12) is shown for comparison. (F) DNA quantification of fresh and decellularized pericardium performed with Nanodrop spectrophotometry. (G) Diagrammatic representation of multi-laminate annulus fibrosus (AF) patch formation in which at least three-plys of decellularized pericardium were stacked (red tubes = aligned collagen type I fibres in the fibrous pericardium layer of each ply) oriented at ±30° to each other. (H) Schematic representation depicting histology sectioning of AF patches using an oblique cut (dotted red line) across multiple layers performed to microscopically visualize collagen fibre alignment in fibrous pericardium surfaces stacked directly adjacent to one another demonstrating a ±30° ‘chevron’ (*) pattern. Alternatively, when fibrous and parietal pericardium surfaces were directly adjacent to each other, a ‘half chevron’ (#) was achieved. (I) Chevron and (J) half chevron patterns (dashed white outlines), respectively, were observed within each patch via polarized light microscopy confirming the presence of oriented collagen fibre alignment (total magnification: 100 ×). (K) Macroscopic image of a six-ply AF patch sewn with suture (black outline). Solid lines connecting different study groups on the graph indicate a significant difference (p < 0.05)
