Abstract

Tissue grafts with reduced regenerative potential, methods of preparing such grafts, and related kits and methods of treatment are described. The method may include treating tissue with a digestion solution comprising trypsin, alpha-chymotrypsin (ACT) and optionally ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) to substantially remove one or more susceptible proteins from the tissue. The method may also include washing the treated tissue with a buffer solution and/or with a serine-containing serum. Nerve grafts prepared according to the disclosed methods may inhibit, or lessen (e.g., provide for reduced) neuroma formation and/or axonal outgrowth after implantation.
