Patent ID: 11951134

Abstract:
An acellular, anion-depleted platelet-derived peptide-rich composition comprising proteins, polypeptides and peptides <10 kDa in size, wherein the composition has anti-microbial and/or anti-inflammatory activity is disclosed. The composition can be substantially free of non-active and immunogenic factors. The composition can have a platelet-to-bacteria ratio ≥1000:1. The composition can comprise plasma at a range of ≥10% to ≤50% plasma, optionally about 10% plasma. Methods of using the composition are also disclosed. Also disclosed is a method for preparing an acellular platelet-derived peptide-rich composition having anti-microbial and/or anti-inflammatory activity, the method comprising: providing a starting material comprising platelet-rich plasma processed to contain ≥1,000,000 platelet/μL, ≤100 leukocytes/μL and ≤10 erythrocyte/μL in plasma; lysing and/or activating the starting material; contacting the starting material with an ion exchange matrix and/or a size exchange matrix; and isolating the acellular platelet-derived peptide-rich composition.
