Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

It is intended to provide a method of three-dimensionally culturing normal joint chondrocytes; the production and supply of chondrocytes; and a transplantation material to be used in an injured site in a joint tissue.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A composition for regenerating a cartilage tissue, comprising: an amount of isolated collagen and isolated proteoglycan at a ratio of 1:0.51 by weight wherein said ratio is effective to form a three dimensional gelled structure which promotes proliferation of isolated chondrocytes dispersed in said three dimensional gelled structure, wherein the concentration of isolated collagen is 0.8 to 2.4% by weight based on total weight of the composition and the concentration of isolated proteoglycan is 0.4 to 1.2% by weight based on total weight of the composition, and wherein the isolated collagen is selected from the group consisting of atelocollagen and low molecular weight collagen hydrolyzed with enzyme. 2. A kit comprising chondrocytes and a three dimensional gelled structure formed from the composition of claim 1 . 3. A composition for regenerating a cartilage tissue, comprising: an amount of collagen and proteoglycan at a ratio of 1:0.51 by weight, wherein said ratio is effective to form a three dimensional gelled structure which promotes the proliferation of chondrocytes dispersed in said three dimensional gelled structure, wherein the concentration of collagen is 0.8 to 2.4% by weight based on total weight of the composition and the concentration of proteoglycan is 0.4 to 1.2% by weight based on total weight of the composition, and wherein the collagen is selected from the group consisting of atelocollagen and low molecular weight collagen hydrolyzed with enzyme. 4. A composition for regenerating a cartilage tissue, comprising: an amount of isolated collagen and isolated proteoglycan at a ratio of 1:0.51 by weight, and isolated chondrocytes, wherein said ratio is effective to form a three dimensional gelled structure which promotes the proliferation of said chondrocytes dispersed in said three dimensional gelled structure, wherein the isolated collagen is 0.8 to 2.4% by weight and the concentration of isolated proteoglycan is 0.4 to 1.2% by weight, and wherein the isolated collagen is selected from the group consisting of atelocollagen and low molecular weight collagen hydrolyzed with enzyme. 5. The composition of claim 4 , wherein said isolated chondrocytes can be maintained in cultures for several weeks. 6. The composition of claim 4 , wherein said culturing of said chondrocytes form an implantable cartilage tissue. 7. A composition for regenerating a cartilage tissue, comprising: collagen and proteoglycan at a ratio of 1:0.51 by weight, wherein said ratio is effective to form a three dimensional gelled structure which promotes proliferation of isolated chondrocytes dispersed in said three dimensional gelled structure, wherein said three dimensional gelled structure does not contain hyaluronic acid, wherein the concentration of collagen is 0.8 to 2.4% by weight and the concentration of proteoglycan is 0.4 to 1.2% by weight, and wherein the collagen is selected from the group consisting of atelocollagen and low molecular weight collagen hydrolyzed with enzyme.
