==Call for increase of foreskin harvesting== {{Quote boxCitation |title Title= We Must Be Able To Obtain Adequate Sources Of Supply |quote Text= We e manufacture Apligraf for commercial sale, as well as for use in clinical trials, at our Canton, Massachusetts facility. Among the fundamental raw materials needed to manufacture Apligraf are keratinocyte and fibroblast cells. Because these cells are derived from donated infant foreskin, they may contain human-borne pathogens. We perform extensive testing of the cells for pathogens, including the HIV or "AIDS" virus. Our inability to obtain cells of adequate purity, or cells that are pathogen-free, would limit our ability to manufacture sufficient quantities of our products. |source Author=| Source= -- Organogensis| lang=| before=| after=| Transcription=| Translation=| ref=<ref>[http://sec.edgar-online.com/organogenesis-inc/10-k-annual-report/2001/04/02/Section2.aspx Organogensis, 2001 Annual Report (Delaware: Organogenesis, 2001), p.8.] |align = center |width = 50% |quoted = yes</ref>
