preparation example Construction
[0115] The preparation of platelet concentrates should be carried out under sterile conditions.
[0116] For further purification, the platelet concentrate can also be treated by virus inactivation.
[0117] Where synthetic or autologous platelet concentrates are used, virus removal methods may not be required.
[0118] Platelet concentrates can also be stored refrigerated for days, weeks, months or years.
[0119] Another aspect of the present invention is a novel method for preventing or treating alopecia and / or promoting hair growth using the degraded, autologously derived platelet concentrate of the present invention, said platelet concentrate containing < 50% intact platelets.
[0120] The degraded platelet concentrate can be administered as a single dose or as repeated doses.
[0121] For example, the degraded platelet concentrate of the present invention can be applied to the scalp every month, every two months, three to four months, or any other desired interval. Al...

[0182] Example 1: Freezing and Thawing Platelet Fractions to Prepare Degraded Platelet Compositions:
[0183] Platelets are frozen and thawed for cell lysis / breaking of the outer cell membrane. To freeze the platelet fraction, the solution was exposed to and kept at a temperature below -25°C for at least 2 hours without adding any cryoprotectant. Thaw at room temperature. Freeze-thaw cycles were repeated at least twice, and cell lysis was controlled by routine blood counts on a commercial cytometer. At least >80% platelets should be lysed, otherwise freeze / thaw cycles are repeated until final QC parameters reach >80% platelet lysis. The final platelet-free supernatant can be stored at a temperature below -25°C until use.

[0184] Example 2: Use of degraded platelet compositions in breast surgery
[0185] Female patients undergoing breast cancer surgery (partial mastectomy / lumpectomy) and who had planned breast reconstruction with autologous fat transfer (fat augmentation) participated in this pilot study. Before surgery, all patients were referred to the Blood Group Serum and Transfusion Unit to check eligibility for autologous PRP donation (viral load, cubital vein caliber). If eligible, a hospital visit is made and the patient is referred to the Blood Typing Serum and Transfusion Unit, where the patient is connected to a cell separator (Amicus from Fresenius Inc. TM). Within 45 minutes, 100 ml of PRP with a platelet concentration 1 / 7 that of peripheral blood was isolated, and the fraction was divided into 10 10 ml fractions, followed by freezing and storage procedures as described above. On the day of surgery, the surgeon estimated the desired volume of fat and notified the Serum and Trans...
