TREATING ORAL LESIONS USING PLACENTAL EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX

摘要

To provide novel collagen-containing compositions for treatment of oral lesions.SOLUTION: A method for treating an individual having an oral lesion comprises administering to the oral lesion a therapeutically effective amount of extracellular matrix. The extracellular matrix is human placental extracellular matrix that has not been chemically modified or contacted with an exogenous protease. The extracellular matrix preferably has been prepared by treatment with a surfactant. The extracellular matrix preferably comprises collagen, and further preferably comprises one or more selected from among laminin, fibronectin, elastin and glycosaminoglycan.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
