METHODS OF MANUFACTURE OF IMMUNOCOMPATIBLE CHORIONIC MEMBRANE PRODUCTS
Provided herein is a placental product comprising an immunocompatible chorionic membrane. Such placental products can be cryopreserved and contain viable therapeutic cells after thawing. The placental product of the present invention is useful in treating a patient with a tissue injury (e.g. wound or burn) by applying the placental product to the injury. Similar application is useful with ligament and tendon repair and for engraftment procedures such as bone engraftment.

20 . A method of treating a skin and/or dermal tissue injury of a subject, the method comprising administering to the tissue injury of the subject a placental portion comprising a chorionic membrane and having a thickness of about 40 m to about 400 km.
21 . The method of claim 20 , wherein the placental portion is substantially depleted of:
(a) immunogenic cells comprising trophoblasts, functional CD14+ macrophages, or both trophoblasts and functional CD14+ macrophages; and/or
(b) vascularized tissue or vascularized tissue-derived immunogenic cells.
22 . The method of claim 20 , wherein the placental portion does not comprise amniotic membrane.
23 . The method of claim 20 , wherein the placental portion comprises at least 70% viable therapeutic cells native to the placental portion, and wherein the viable native therapeutic cells comprise mesenchymal stem cells and fibroblasts.
24 . The method of claim 23 , wherein the viable native therapeutic cells express CD105, CD166, C90, CD73, CD49, or a combination thereof.
25 . The method of claim 20 , wherein the placental portion comprises therapeutic factors native to the placental portion, and wherein the therapeutic factors comprise IGFBP1, adiponectin, α2-macroglobulin, bFGF, EGF, MMP-9, TIMP1, or a combination thereof.
26 . The method of claim 20 , wherein the tissue injury is a wound.
27 . The method of claim 26 , wherein the tissue injury is an epidermal wound, skin wound, chronic wound, acute wound, external wound, internal wounds, congenital wound, ulcer, or pressure ulcer.
28 . The method of claim 20 , wherein the tissue injury is a burn.
29 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the tissue injury is a first-degree burn, second-degree burn, third degree burn, infection of burn wound, loss of epithelium from a previously grafted or healed burn, or burn wound impetigo.
30 . The method of claim 20 , wherein the tissue injury is caused during or as an adjunct to a surgical procedure.
31 . The method of claim 20 , wherein the placental portion is administered over skin and/or dermal tissue of the subject at the site of the tissue injury to cover the tissue injury.
32 . The method of claim 20 , wherein the placental portion is administered as an implant at the site of the tissue injury.
33 . The method of claim 20 , wherein the placental portion reduces adhesion or fibrosis at the site of the tissue injury.
34 . A skin and/or dermal tissue injury healing composition comprising a placental portion comprising a chorionic membrane and having a thickness of about 40 m to about 400 m.
35 . The skin and/or dermal tissue injury healing composition of claim 34 , wherein the placental portion is substantially depleted of:
(a) immunogenic cells comprising trophoblasts, functional CD14+ macrophages, or both trophoblasts and functional CD14+ macrophages; and/or
(b) vascularized tissue or vascularized tissue-derived immunogenic cells.
36 . The skin and/or dermal tissue injury healing composition of claim 34 , wherein the placental portion does not comprise amniotic membrane.
37 . The method of claim 34 , wherein placental portion comprises at least 70% viable therapeutic cells native to the placental portion, wherein the viable native therapeutic cells comprise mesenchymal stem cells and fibroblasts and express CD105, CD166, C90, CD73, CD49, or a combination thereof.
38 . The method of claim 34 , wherein the placental portion comprises therapeutic factors native to the placental portion, and wherein the therapeutic factors comprise IGFBP1, adiponectin, α2-macroglobulin, bFGF, EGF, MMP-9, TIMP1, or a combination thereof.
