Definitions

• the present invention relates generally to the field of bioactive materials derived from animal blood platelet products, and methods of preparation and use thereof.
• Such treatments may include, for example, the administration of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) which have the potential to differentiate into mesenchymal lineage cells including, for instance, bone, fat, cartilage, and muscle.
• MSCs mesenchymal stem cells
• FBS Fetal Bovine Serum
• hPL Human platelet lysate
• Anticoagulant additives in hPL increase the cost of hPL production and/or use and may be problematic in situations where the bioactivity of heparin is detrimental. Also, while a variety of processes for producing hPL have been proposed, attempts to achieve target compositional profiles or bioactivities for the hPL product have often led to process complexity and/or intensive equipment requirements.
• bioactive fractions of blood-derived platelet concentrates can be uniquely processed from the concentrates.
• the bioactive fractions can have novel compositional profiles of growth factors and/or other substances present in the starting concentrates, and the processing methods can involve novel techniques for clotting and separating fractions of the concentrates and/or novel depth filtration operations to clarify liquid fractions derived from the concentrates.
• a method for processing a platelet lysate composition includes the steps of lysing platelets of a human blood-derived concentrate containing platelets and plasma to form a lysed platelet preparation, forming a clot gel by converting fibrinogen to fibrin in the lysed platelet preparation, and compressing the clot gel so as to express liquid from the clot gel.

• the filter train Prior to processing the 100L bag material, the filter train is primed with sterile, distilled water. The hPL liquid exiting the filter train is collected into a second 100L bag.
• the second 100L hPL bag is aseptically connected to and pumped through a sterile filter into smaller containers, for example 100 mL or 500 mL jars (e.g. Nalgene jars). This can be done under sterile fill conditions.
• the jars can be shrink-wrapped to cover their capped ends, and labeled.
• An hPL product produced in accordance with this Example has a compositional profile as specified herein and can be used as a supplement to cell culture media without the requirement of adding heparin to prevent clot formation.
• the addition of this hPL product to a cell culture medium results in an essentially clot-free medium, even without the addition of heparin.
• the cell culture media so produced exhibit excellent properties in the culture of cells, including but not limited to bone marrow mesenchymal cells, adipocyte stem cells, placenta derived mesenchymal stem cells, and muscle-derived stem or progenitor cells, with relatively high cell counts or percent confluence after a given culture period being obtainable in preferred uses.
• the bag containing the gel clot of raw hPL is pressed to express liquid from the gel clot. This pressing is thoroughly done, resulting in a solid clot mass at one end of the bag and a separate liquid volume at the other end of the bag, adjacent an outlet spout.
• the separated liquid represents approximately 75-80% of the volume of the original, pooled raw hPL, and the solid clot material represents the remainder.
• the liquid is transferred from the bag to a second, fill bag having a volume of 25L. A sufficient number of such thaw-pool- clot-express runs are conducted to fill the 25L fill bag with liquid.
• the 25L fill bag is stored overnight in a 4°C laboratory refrigerator.
• a peristaltic pump is used to transfer the fluid from the 25 L fill bag, through a pre- filter (25 ⁇ ) and a sterile filter (0.2 ⁇ ).
• the filtered liquid is pooled into a collection bag.
• the filtered liquid (hPl) is then aliquoted into sterile containers (e.g 100 mL or 500 mL Nalgene jars). This can be done under sterile fill conditions.
• the jars can be shrink-wrapped to cover their capped ends, and labeled.
• An hPL product produced in accordance with this Example has a compositional profile as specified herein and can be used as a supplement to cell culture media without the requirement of adding heparin to prevent clot formation, and can also be put to use in the other applications identified herein for liquid bioactive fractions.
• the addition of this hPL product to a cell culture medium results in an essentially clot-free medium, even without the addition of heparin.
• the cell culture media so produced exhibit excellent properties in the culture of cells, including but not limited to bone marrow mesenchymal cells, adipocyte stem cells, placenta derived mesenchymal stem cells, and muscle-derived stem or progenitor cells, with relatively high cell counts or percent confluence after a given culture period being obtainable in preferred uses.
• a canine platelet lysate (CPL) composition can be prepared substantially as described above.
• preparation of CPL composition begins with preparation of disease-screened apheresed canine platelet units obtained from peripheral blood.
• platelet unit may be freshly prepared or may be obtained from an expired platelet unit.
• the platelet unit is frozen at -20°C in a freezer until use.
• a number of the units e.g. about 10 units are removed from the freezer and thawed at room temperature, thus lysing the platelets and forming a "raw CPL" composition.
• the raw CPL from the selected units is pooled into a bag.
• Calcium chloride is added to the pooled raw CPL at a level of 0.7 grams/L (approximately 6 mM CaC12) and then thoroughly mixed with the raw CPL on a shaker at room temperature for 2 hours. After mixing, the CaC12 -treated raw CPL is allowed to clot overnight at room temperature, during which a firm, substantially homogeneous clotted gel mass forms from the volume of raw CPL. While remaining closed, the bag containing the gel clot of raw CPL is manually pressed by hand to express liquid from the gel clot. This pressing is thoroughly done, resulting in a solid clot mass at one end of the bag and a separate liquid volume at the other end of the bag, adjacent an outlet spout.
• the separated liquid represents approximately 75-80% of the volume of the original, pooled raw CPL, and the solid clot material represents the remainder.
• the liquid is transferred from the bag to a second, refrigerated bag having a volume of 100L. A sufficient number of such thaw-pool-clot-express runs are conducted to fill the refrigerated 100L bag with liquid.
• the collected liquid (e.g. liquid bioactive fraction) is then passed through a sterile filter.
• the collected liquid is passed through a series of depth filters as described in Example 1.
• the filtered liquid (cPL) is then aliquoted into sterile containers (e.g. 100 mL or 500 mL Nalgene jars). This can be done under sterile fill conditions.
• the jars can be shrink-wrapped to cover their capped ends, and labeled.
• a CPL product produced in accordance with this Example has a compositional profile as specified herein and can be used as a supplement to cell culture media without the requirement of adding heparin to prevent clot formation, and can also be put to use in the other applications identified herein for liquid bioactive fractions.
• the addition of this CPL product to a cell culture medium results in an essentially clot-free medium, even without the addition of heparin.
• the cell culture media so produced exhibit excellent properties in the culture of cells, including but not limited to bone marrow mesenchymal cells, adipocyte stem cells, placenta derived mesenchymal stem cells, and muscle-derived stem or progenitor cells, with relatively high cell counts or percent confluence after a given culture period being obtainable in preferred uses.
• the CPL solution may also be used as a therapeutic as described herein.
