Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
133 words
The process of isolating substantially pure BMP composition comprising the steps of: (a) demineralizing bone tissue; (b) treating said demineralized bone tissue under aqueous conditions with a water soluble neutral salt and a solubilizing agent for BMP composition, said agent being selected from the group consisting of urea and quanidine, and thereby transforming the bone collagen to gelatin and extracting BMP composition into said solution of solubilizing agent; (c) separating said solubilizing agent and neutral salt from said solution thereby precipitating BMP composition in the aqueous medium; (d) dissolving said BMP composition precipitate in a solubilizing agent as defined in (b) above, and dialyzing said dissolved BMP composition against a less concentrated solution of said solubilizing agent; and (e) dialyzing supernatant obtained in step (d) against water thereby precipitating substantially pure BMP composition.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
133 words
The process of isolating substantially pure BMP composition comprising the steps of: (a) demineralizing bone tissue; (b) treating said demineralized bone tissue under aqueous conditions with a water soluble neutral salt and a solubilizing agent for BMP composition, said agent being selected from the group consisting of urea and quanidine, and thereby transforming the bone collagen to gelatin and extracting BMP composition into said solution of solubilizing agent; (c) separating said solubilizing agent and neutral salt from said solution thereby precipitating BMP composition in the aqueous medium; (d) dissolving said BMP composition precipitate in a solubilizing agent as defined in (b) above, and dialyzing said dissolved BMP composition against a less concentrated solution of said solubilizing agent; and (e) dialyzing supernatant obtained in step (d) against water thereby precipitating substantially pure BMP composition.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
11 words
The process of claim 1 wherein said solubilizing agent is guanidine.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
36 words
The process of claim 2 wherein said BMP composition in said solution is dissolved in a 4 molar guanidine hydrochloride and is sequentially dialyzed against less concentrated guanidine hydrochloride solutions prior to being dialyzed against water.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
37 words
The process of claim 3 including the further step of redissolving said precipitated BMP composition in concentrated guanidine hydrochloride solution and dielyzing said BMP composition solution against a dilute detergent solution thereby precipitating substantially pure BMP composition.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
17 words
The process of claim 4 including the further step of water washing said substantially pure BMP composition.
