Making chemically defined media work.
A plant-based expression system could provide greater speed and capacity at a comparatively low cost.
The authors outline qualification procedures for a process-critical piece of equipment.
A simple, sensitive, and universal platform for identification and quantification of trace-level protein impurities in biotherapeutics is described.
The correlation between limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) assay and rabbit pyrogen test (RPT) targeting recombinant human epidermal growth factor (rhEGF) as active molecule was assessed.
Subjective visual evaluation of freeze-dried products can be quantified through mechanical methods of characterizing the properties these materials.
Optimized freeze-drying cycles can offer scientific and business advantages.
Can postapproval FDA filings immunize pharma companies from patent lawsuits?
The medical benefits of transgenes - effective against diseases such as cancer, HIV, malaria, and tuberculosis - require either a viral or nonviral vector. Nonviral vectors have lower immunogenicity, better safety profiles, and improved stability, as well as being less expensive and easier to produce. The first article in this series reviewed techniques suitable for the purification of plasmid DNA in the absence of added RNase. This article investigates a downstream process capable of producing gram quantities of pure plasmid DNA.
Quality control for disposable-bags
Aggregate formation is influenced by multiple aspects of the bioproduction process but can be mitigated by good process design and control.
The authors describe the growth characteristics of human mesenchymal stem cells cultured in a stirred-tank bioreactor.
Vaccine process development is complex, and so are the documents required before clinical trials begin. Technical writers and editors can effectively coordinate the timely authoring, reviewing, and auditing of regulatory documents, minimizing filing delays.
The correlation between limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) assay and rabbit pyrogen test (RPT) targeting recombinant human epidermal growth factor (rhEGF) as active molecule was assessed.
Biotechnology players are emerging in countries that historically have not been substantially active in this industry.
The correlation between limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) assay and rabbit pyrogen test (RPT) targeting recombinant human epidermal growth factor (rhEGF) as active molecule was assessed.
Reduced carryover risk and close attention to particulate control result in greater patient safety through the use of single-use systems.
