Abstract
The present invention relates to a process for treating a skin surface wound of a human. The process includes topically applying a keratinocyte pellet fraction onto the wound to result in wound closure. The invention also relates to a pharmaceutical composition including a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle and a keratinocyte pellet fraction. The keratinocyte pellet fraction can be produced in a sterile manner by growing a keratinocyte culture, lysing the keratinocytes, centrifugation, and recovering the keratinocyte pellet fraction.
