Bioassay method for potency of acellular nerve grafts
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11885792B2) discloses a method for conducting a bioassay of an acellular nerve graft. The method involves affixing a dorsal root ganglia (DRG) to one end of the acellular nerve graft to form a test construct, culturing the construct to allow nerve outgrowth, and analyzing the construct to determine the amount of outgrowing nerve structure. The potency of the acellular nerve graft is then determined based on the amount of outgrowing nerve structure observed.
The method includes various steps such as preparing the test construct for sectioning, staining the sections with specific stains, and analyzing the construct using diffusion tensor imaging to quantify the outgrowing nerve structure. Additionally, the method involves assaying to determine the amount of target proteins associated with the outgrowing nerve structure. The patent also covers aspects like passivating the acellular nerve graft, the duration of culturing, and the source of the acellular nerve graft, which can be from a human or an animal. Overall, the method provides a comprehensive approach to evaluating the potency of acellular nerve grafts based on the outgrowth of nerve structures, offering potential advancements in nerve regeneration research and clinical applications.
