Abstract

A method of generating atelocollagen is disclosed. The method comprises contacting a human telopeptide-comprising collagen with a protease selected from the group consisting of neutrase, subtilisin, ficin recombinant human trypsin and recombinant human pepsin, wherein said human telopeptide-comprising collagen is expressed in a non-animal cell, thereby generating the atelocollagen. Compositions comprising the atelocollagen generated thereby are also disclosed.
