Patent number: 8648178Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for purifying a protein belonging to the TGF-?, superfamily, preferably BMP, and more preferably BMP-2. According to the invention, the number of purification steps is reduced and the purification process is simplified, compared to the conventional BMP-2 purification method. Thus, the time required for purification can be shortened and the cost can be reduced. In addition, the invention solves the problem that as the time for purification increases and the number of purification steps increases, BMP-2 is degraded by protease or lost during purification steps, resulting in a decrease in the final yield of BMP-2. Thus, the invention increases the final yield of BMP-2.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2010Date of Patent: February 11, 2014Assignee: Korea Bone Bank Co., Ltd.Inventors: Young-Bock Shim, Yeong-Schick Kim, Yon-Rak Choi, Ju-Woong Jang

Patent number: 8431623Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for forming a porous poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) scaffold using a pore-forming agent, comprising: mixing PVA with the pore-forming agent to form micropores in the PVA scaffold and using an easily decomposable pore-forming agent after the formation of the pores to improve convenience and reduce the processing time in manufacturing the porous PVA scaffold as well as to enable a pore size and porosity to be selected. A process for forming a porous PVA scaffold using a pore-forming agent according to the present invention includes heating to melt the PVA, cooling the melted PVA and mixing the PVA with a heat-decomposable pore-forming agent, repeating the freezing/thawing of the mixed PVA to cure the PVA mixture, and stirring the cured PVA mixture with a hydrochloric acid solution at a high temperature of 65° C. or more to produce foam.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2010Date of Patent: April 30, 2013Assignee: Korea Bone Bank Co., Ltd.Inventors: Young-Bock Shim, Hong-Hee Jung, Yon-Rak Choi, Ju-Woong Jang
