Amnion is a rich source of biologically active factors including exosomes, cytokines, growth factors, and extracellular matrix proteins with reported anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic, and immunomodulatory properties that make it attractive for use in veterinary applications.1, 2
Biological Factors Identified in AlphaFlo®
AlphaFlo® is enjoying rapid adoption as a superior alternative to autologous and other therapies. Ready availability of an allograft potentiates clinical use without having time lapse for culturing cells or harvest techniques required for PRP and other autologous therapies. Due to individual variability within products such as PRP, cytokine and growth factor profiles can vary dramatically between patients. The reproducibility of each donor tissue also offers a more homogeneous protein concentration and product consistency in comparison to other regenerative modalities. AlphaFlo® is cryopreserved and maintained frozen before use, to preserve beneficial proteins that may not survive lyophilization. Clinicians currently managing injuries with PRP or autologous therapy should consider use of AlphaFlo® to achieve similar or improved clinical outcomes.
A2M
Alpha-2-Microglobulin. Potent inhibitor of pro-inflammatory cytokines including IL-1, and non-specific protease inhibitors including matrix metalloproteinases responsible for cartilage degradation.
IL-1ra
Interleukin-1 Receptor Antagonist. Potent anti-inflammatory cytokine. Inhibits the activity of interleukin-1 related immune and inflammatory responses.
IL-10
Interleukin-10. Potent anti-inflammatory cytokine. Inhibits the activity of interleukin-10 inflammatory response.
TIMP-2
Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases-2. Potent anti-fibrotic protein. Inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases which are enzymes responsible for tissue destruction.
MCP-1
Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1. Chemokine protein involved in the recruitment and activation of monocytes, memory T-cells, and dendritic cells to sites of inflammation and injury.
Trappin-2
Protease inhibitor that plays a major role in controlling inflammation and protecting tissue damage.
EGFR
Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor: Protein that plays a crucial role in cell growth and division.
VEGF
Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor. Potent stimulator of angiogenesis and key player in wound healing and tissue regeneration.
