(B) KOS+rhBMP-2. (C) KTN+rhBMP-2. (D) 30:70 KOS:KTN+rhBMP-2. (E) 50:50 KOS:KTN+rhBMP-2. (F) 70:30 KOS:KTN+rhBMP-2. (G) Collagen only. (H) KOS only. (I) KTN only. (J) 30:70 KOS:KTN only. (K) 50:50 KOS:KTN only. (L) 70:30 KOS:KTN only. Keratin formulations are indicated as KOS:KTN ratio by weight percentage. KOS, keratose; KTN, kerateine.
