The H-HA/L-HA complex (1:1 weight ratio) was produced in our laboratory following the procedure described in patent application WO2011EP65633 [27 ], which was modified to obtain solutions (32 g/l) suitable for use in cell cultures (i.e., use of a physiological buffer solution, PBS). For all samples, pH and osmolality were measured in order to perform experiments in physiological conditions (i.e., pH 7.0–7.4; osmolality 300 mOsm). Endotoxin concentration (EU/mg) was evaluated with the Limulus test, and solutions were used only when the titer as <1 EU/mg. All solutions were sterilized in an autoclave at 1 bar for 12 min at 120 °C.
Bovine testicular hyaluronidase, BTH (EC 3.2.1.35), essentially salt free lyophilized powder with a specific activity of 1160U/mg was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Milan, Italy) (cat. N. H3884, lot. N. 057K7014).
HaCaT cells (Istituto Zooprofilattico, Brescia, Italy), a spontaneously transformed non-tumorigenic human keratinocyte cell line and human dermal fibroblast (HDF), a generous gift of Prof Caraglia, were cultured in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10 % (v/v) heat inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS), 100 U/mL penicillin and 100 μg/ml streptomycin. All materials were purchased from Flow Laboratories (Milan, Italy). The cells were grown on tissue culture plates (Corning Incorporated, New York, USA), using an incubator with a humidified atmosphere (95 % air/5%CO2 v/v) at 37 °C. Collagen was purchased from Sigma, Aldrich (Milan, Italy).

Example 3
HA was transferred to plastic jars. A 3% (w/w) NaOH solution was mixed with BODE in a shaker with an HA concentration of 33% (w/w) of the final mixture. The jars were transferred to an incubator or a water bath to perform the cross-linking step at room temperature (RT) for 16 h, 24 h and 40 h, respectively, or for 16 h at 29° c.
The resulting gels were allowed to swell to 20 mg/g HA in a buffer solution containing sodium phosphate, HCl and NaCl, at a pH about 7.5. The gels were filled in syringes and then autoclaved.
Results:
The cross-linking reaction yields a gel with useful properties, e.g. gel strength, both at RT and 29° C. for reaction times of 16-40 h.
Example 1
The amniotic fluid first undergoes a two-step dialysis process. First, the amniotic fluid is passed through a 3 kiloDalton (kDa) filter to remove low molecular weight urea and uric acid, in addition to reducing the water content. Second, the amniotic fluid is again passed through a 3 kDa membrane in the presence of a dialysate solution (normal saline), to flush the remainder of the urea and uric acid, while maintaining the volume of the fluid. Cryopreservative is added such that the final product contains equal volumes dialyzed fluid and cryopreservative; therefore, the finished product is approximately 1.5 times more concentrated than the starting fluid. The product is then aliquoted into vials (using aseptic technique) and frozen.
It is contemplated that this removal will not have an impact on the components of the AF thought to confer benefit, such as the hyaluronic acid and other proteins in the fluid.
Example 6
HA was transferred to plastic jar. A 1.5% (w/w) NaOH-solution was mixed with BODE in a shaker with an HA concentration of 11% (w/w) of the final mixture. The jar was transferred to an incubator to perform the cross-linking step for 24 h at RT.
The resulting gel was allowed to swell to 20 mg/g HA in a buffer solution containing sodium phosphate, HCl and NaCl, at a pH about 7.5. The gel was filled in syringes and then autoclaved.
An aliquot of the gel was precipitated and washed in EtOH and then dried in a vacuum chamber. The gelpowder was rehydrated in a buffer solution to 20 mg/g HA. The amount of free BODE derivatives in the solution (i.e. not coupled to the gel) was determined using LC-MS prior to and after the precipitation step.
Results:
This shows that an additional precipitation and washing in ethanol is highly effective to reduce undesirable soluble BODE derivatives which are not covalently coupled to the gel product.
Example 5
HA was transferred to plastic jars. A 2.5% (w/w) NaOH solution was mixed with BODE in a shaker with an HA concentration of 18% (w/w) of the final mixture. The jars were transferred to an incubator or a water bath to perform the cross-linking step for 24 h, 48 h or 72 h, respectively, at RT.
The resulting gels were allowed to swell to 20 mg/g HA in a buffer solution containing sodium phosphate, HCl and NaCl, at a pH about 7.5. The gels were filled in syringes and then autoclaved.
Results:
The cross-linking reaction yields a gel with particularly useful properties, e.g. gel strength, for reaction times of less than 48 h, such as 24 h.
Example 14
Variables tested include: concentration of HA, concentration of zinc oxide, concentration of titanium dioxide, addition of vitamin C, and serum preparation method.
A serum of the present disclosure can be made with from about 0.25% to about 10% sodium hyaluronate (increasing % results in more viscous serum). 0.5% to about 10% silk solutions can be used to prepare a serum of the present disclosure. A serum of the present disclosure can be clear and have a yellow tinted color. A serum of the present disclosure can have a pH=6. A serum of the present disclosure can have a lubricious texture that is rubbed in easily without residue.
Concentration of HA:
Hyaluronic acid (Sodium Hyaluronate) was tested as an ingredient in the UV silk serum due to its hygroscopic properties and widely accepted use in cosmetic products to promote hydration of skin. 1%, 2.5% and 5% HA solutions were tested. With increasing HA %, the serum became more viscous and gel like. 1% HA was not feasible for the UV serum due to the fact that the UV additives (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) are not water soluble and need to be dispersed. 1% HA was not viscous enough for dispersion and the UV additives precipitated out. 2.5% gave the best consistency based on preferred feel, texture and viscosity and was able to disperse the UV additives. 5% was a very thick, viscous serum.
Concentration of Mineral Filters: Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide:
Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide were explored as UV additives that are considered safe. These additives mechanically protect from UV radiation by forming a physical reflective barrier on the skin. Both are not soluble in water and must be dispersed for the current aqueous solution. Zinc oxide concentration varied from 2.5%, 3.75%, 5%, 5.625%, 10%, 12% and 15%. Titanium dioxide concentrations varied from 1.25%, 1.875%, 3%, 5% and 10%. Increasing the concentration of UV additives resulted in minor increases of white residue and how well dispersed the additives were, however if mixed well enough the effects were negligible. Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide were mixed together into serums in order to achieve broad spectrum protection. Zinc oxide is a broad spectrum UV additive capable of protecting against long and short UV A and UV B rays. However titanium dioxide is better at UV B protection and often added with zinc oxides for best broad spectrum protection. Combinations included 3.75%/1.25% ZnO/TiO2, 5.625%/1.875% ZnO/TiO2, 12%/3% ZnO/TiO2, 15%/5% ZnO/TiO2. The 3.75%/1.25% ZnO/TiO2 resulted in spf 5 and the 5.625%/1.875% ZnO/TiO2 produced spf 8.
Vitamin C:
Sodium ascorbyl phosphate was used as a vitamin C source. Formulations were created with the vitamin C concentration equal to that in the silk gel (0.67%). Formulations were also created with 20% sodium ascorbyl phosphate which is soluble in water.
Serum Preparation:
The vitamin C (sodium ascorbyl phosphate) must first be dissolved in water. Sodium hyaluronate is then added to the water, mixed vigorously and left to fully dissolve. The result is a viscous liquid (depending on HA %). The viscosity of the HA solution allows even dispersion of the zinc oxide and titanium dioxide and therefore HA must be mixed before addition of UV additives. The zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are then added to the solution and mixed vigorously with the use of an electric blender. Silk solution is then added and mixed to complete the serum formulation.
Chemical Filters:
A UV serum of the present disclosure can include one, or a combination of two or more, of these active chemical filter ingredients: oxybenzone, avobenzone, octisalate, octocrylene, homosalate and octinoxate. A UV serum of the present disclosure can also include a combination of zinc oxide with chemical filters.
