The Clearify™ process now retains the intermediate layer of the amniotic membrane. Multi-layer, Ambio5® grafts
retain more hyaluronic acid (HA) than previous generations.

ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS PRESENT IN THE INTERMEDIATE LAYER


The intermediate layer of amniotic membrane tissue contains detectable levels of the following essential elements
HA EGF IL-4 IL-10 TGF- β TGF-a PDGF-AA PDGF-BB VEGF TIMP-1 TIMP-2 TIMP-4

Description of the regulatory components found in the intermediate layer and the function
these components perform in utero.
4 Hyaluronic acid (HA)
Involved in cell migration and the proliferation of fibroblasts. Plays a role in the
regulation of the inflammatory response and assists in tissue hydration.
• HA is naturally found in the eyes and often used during eye surgery to reduce
inflammation and speed wound healing.1,2,3

4 Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF)


Plays an important role in epithelialization, attracts endothelial cells and fibroblasts
and helps regulate angiogenesis and tissue integrity.
4 Interleukin-4 (IL- 4)
Involved in regulating and decreasing inflammation. Plays a role in the synthesis
of new extracellular matrix.
4 Interleukin-10 (IL-10)
Plays a role in downregulating the inflammatory response and the expression of
inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-6 and TNFa.
4 Transforming Growth Factor β (TGF-β)
Active in epithelialization, matrix formation and tissue remodeling. Involved in
angiogenesis and the maintenance of the normal phenotype of corneal keratinocytes.
4 Transforming Growth Factor α (TGF- α)
Stimulates migration and proliferation of epithelial cells and keratinocytes and helps
maintain epithelialization of a wound.
4 Platelet Derived Growth Factor AA (PDGF-AA)/Platelet Derived Growth Factor BB (PDGF-BB)
Have been shown to stimulate the production of collagen and glycosaminoglycans
by fibroblasts, and thereby may play an important role in the wound repair process.
Attract neutrophils to wound site to remove contaminating bacteria.

4 Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)


Assists wound healing by stimulating the process of forming new blood vessels
known as angiogenesis.

4 Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor (bFGF)


Regulator of fibroblast and epithelial cell migration and assists in angiogenesis.
4 Tissue Inhibitors of Metalloproteinases 1, 2, 4 (TIMP-1, TIMP-2, and TIMP-4)
Help reulate extracellular matrix integrity and inhibit angiogenesis. Inhibits matrix
metalloproteinases which are elevated in patients with dry eye and have been
found in the tears of those patients with recurrent corneal erosions.
