A wound healing agent was produced by the following method.
50 g of high-purity gelatin (manufactured by Zerais) was dissolved in 1,000 ml of 20 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.4) /0.1 M NaCl while heating, and then cooled to 50 ° C. The immobilized enzyme for enzymatic degradation was prepared by binding 100 mg of collagenase enzyme (purified from type IV, manufactured by Washington) to 50 g of particle carrier.
