Alternatively, the intermediate tissue layer can be removed from the amnion by wiping the intermediate tissue layer with gauze or other suitable wipe. The resulting amnion can be subsequently decontaminated using the process described below.

For example, after removal of the epithelial cell layer, a representative tissue sample from the processing lot is placed onto a standard microscope examination slide.

Once an adequate amount of time has passed to allow for staining, visual observation is done under magnification.
  • the epithelium layer can be removed by techniques known in the art. For example, the epithelium layer can be scraped off of the amnion using a cell scraper. Other techniques include, but are not limited to, freezing the membrane, physical removal using a cell scraper, or exposing the epithelial cells to nonionic detergents, anionic detergents, and nucleases.
  • the de-epithelialized tissue is then evaluated to determine that the basement membrane has not been compromised and remains intact. This step is performed after completion of the processing step and the before the tissue has been dehydrated as described in the next section. For example, a representative sample graft is removed for microscopic analysis. The tissue sample is place onto a standard slide, stained with Eosin Y and viewed under the microscope. If epithelium is present, it will appear as cobblestone- shaped cells.
  • Decellularization generally involves the physical and/or chemical removal of all cells present in the amnion, which includes epithelial cells and fibroblast cells.

  • the Cryo-block was placed into the Grinder(SPEX Sample Prep GenoGrinder 2010) and set at 1,500 rpm for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes has elapsed, the tissue is inspected to ensure micronization. If necessary, the tissue can be placed back into the Dewar for an additional 30-60 minutes, and moved to the grinder for an additional 20 minutes to ensure sufficient micronization. Once the tissue is sufficiently micronized it is sorted using a series of American Standard ASTM sieves. The sieves were placed in the following order: 355 ⁇ , 300 ⁇ , 250 ⁇ , 150 ⁇ , and 125 ⁇ . The micronized material was transferred from the 50 mL vials to the 355 ⁇ sieve. Each sieve was agitated individually in order ATTORNEY DOCKET NO.: 24S05.2-050

  • PEG 600 was poured into a beaker and warmed to 45 °C. While stirring under heat, water was added to the beaker. After thoroughly mixing for five minutes, cetyl alcohol was then added while continuing to stir under heat for five more minutes.
