Abstract

Abstract Disclosed are osteogenic devices comprising a matrix containing substantially pure mammalian osteogenic protein and methods of inducing endochondral bone growth in mammals. A partial amino acid sequence, amino acid composition, solubility properties, and various other data characterizing osteogenic protein are also disclosed, as well as a nucleic acid sequences encoding a consensus osteogenic protein.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 22
Claim 1
Independent Claim 96 words
An osteogenic device for implantation in a mammal, said device comprising: a biocompatible, porous, insoluble particulate matrix defining pores of a dimension sufficient to permit influx, differentiation, a proliferation of migratory progenitor cells from the body of said mammal; and substantially pure osteogenic protein disposed on the surface of said matrix, said protein comprising a pair of polypeptide chains disulfide bonded to produce a dimeric species having a conformation such that said pair of polypeptide chains is capable of inducing endochondral bone formation in said mammal when disposed in said matrix and accessible to said cells.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 96 words
An osteogenic device for implantation in a mammal, said device comprising: a biocompatible, porous, insoluble particulate matrix defining pores of a dimension sufficient to permit influx, differentiation, a proliferation of migratory progenitor cells from the body of said mammal; and substantially pure osteogenic protein disposed on the surface of said matrix, said protein comprising a pair of polypeptide chains disulfide bonded to produce a dimeric species having a conformation such that said pair of polypeptide chains is capable of inducing endochondral bone formation in said mammal when disposed in said matrix and accessible to said cells.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 22 words
The device of claim 1 wherein said matrix comprises close-packed particulate matter having a particle size within the range of 70-850 μm.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 19 words
