Large-Scale Production of Therapeutic Antibodies: Considerations for Optimizing Product Capture and Purification

  • Chapter
Antibodies

Abstract

The first therapeutic proteins produced by fermentation of genetically engineered bacteria emerged two decades ago. With the notable exception of insulin, most of the initial wave of biotechnology products launched in the 1980s and 1990s were peptide hormones and enzymes licensed for indications with relatively small patient populations and for short-term rather than chronic use. Consequently, the market requirement for these products was frequently in the low kilogram range.
