METHOD FOR REDUCING CELL MASS CONTAINED IN BIOLOGICAL TISSUE AND ACELLULAR BIOLOGICAL TISSUE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method by which an acellular cornea holding transparency is obtained when the cornea is subjected to an acellular treatment and the acellular cornea, and a method for making an acellular tissue other than the cornea and the acellular tissues.;SOLUTION: The method reduces a cell mass contained in a biological tissue by putting the biological tissue in anoxic conditions. The anoxic conditions are represented as, for example, an anoxic condition or a nitrogen atmosphere. The cell-free tissues are represented as tissues such as the cornea, a heart valve, a tendon, and a ligament.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
