Abstract

A biological composition has a mixture of mechanically selected allogeneic biologic material derived from placental tissue. The mixture has non-whole cellular components including vesicular components and active and inactive components of biological activity, cell fragments, cellular excretions, cellular derivatives, and extracellular components. The mixture including non-whole cell fractions including one or more of exosomes, transcriptosomes, proteasomes, membrane rafts, lipid rafts. The mixture is compatible with biologic function.

Claims (58)

1. A method of making a biological composition comprises the steps of:

collecting, recovering and processing placental tissue from a donor;

mechanically separating cellular and non-cellular components or combinations thereof of placental tissue;

concentrating by centrifugation and filtering to form a suspension of the cellular and non-cellular components;

separating by density gradient centrifugation to form a cell pellet of the cellular components and a supernatant of the non-cellular components wherein the cellular components in the cell pellet are separated from the supernatant and removed and wherein the supernatant is further consisting of filtering through a 0.45 micron filter;

collecting non-cellular fractions or non-cellular components or combinations thereof of predetermined density by increasing centrifugation strength;

washing the non-cellular fractions or non-cellular components or combinations thereof;

quantifying the non-cellular fractions or non-cellular components or combinations thereof separated by density gradient concentration is greater than zero;

suspending the non-cellular fractions or non-cellular components or combinations thereof to a concentration with a blend of collected, recovered and processed placental tissue and bone particles to create a mixture in a cryoprotectant consisting of a polyampholyte cryoprotectant to create a biological composition, wherein the bone particles having a size range of 100 to 300 μm of demineralized cortical bone, mineralized cortical bone and mineralized cancellous bone intermixed with the non-cellular fractions or non-cellular components; and

freezing the biological composition at a controlled rate.

2. The method of preparing the biological composition for use made according to the method of claim 1 by the steps of:
