Abstract

See full text

The invention features bone grafts (such as bone allografts) with reduced protease activity. These bone grafts are useful, for example, in conjunction with a polypeptide of interest (such as platelet derived growth factor) for treating, stabilizing, preventing, and/or delaying a bone, periodontium, ligament, cartilage, or tendon condition in an individual (such as a human). Additionally, the invention provides methods of measuring the protease activity associated with a bone graft, reducing the level of protease activity associated with a bone graft, selecting a bone graft with an acceptable level of protease activity, and methods of administering a bone graft and a polypeptide of interest to an individual.
