What are the different types of atelocollagen gel?
Atelocollagen/Native collagen acidic solutions are high purity collagen solutions prepared from bovine dermis and are suitable for collagen coating applications and for preparing collagen gel as a scaffold for 3D culture. Two types of atelocollagen/native collagen products are available: I -PC (atelocollagen) and I -AC (native collagen).
How is atelocollagen a derivative of collagen?
Atelocollagen is a derivative of collagen produced by protease treatment to remove the telopeptides at both ends of the collagen molecule. What is Atelocollagen? Atelocollagen/Native collagen acidic solutions form a gel (fibrillisation) under physiological conditions.
How big is an atelocollagen in nm?
The resulting atelocollagen (300 kDa) has a stick-like structure, 300 nm in length and 1.5 nm in diameter.
How big are the spheres of atelocollagen after injection?
The final injection mixture contains a 1 : 3 ratio of microspheres to atelocollagen with an average concentration of 0.3% lidocaine hydrochloride. The bovine collagen is biodegraded in several weeks, leaving behind spheres of PMMA with a smooth surface and measuring approximately 30–40 mm in diameter (Fig. 28.15 ).
