Recombinant protein drugs refer to protein products that originate from animals and plants and are developed through biotechnology research. These protein drugs exhibit certain biological activity and can prevent, diagnose, and treat diseases in humans, animals, and plants. Compared with small molecular drugs, recombinant protein drugs offer advantages such as high activity, high specificity, and ...
Antibody drugs are a kind of drugs that treat diseases through artificially synthesized antibodies, achieving therapeutic purposes by specifically binding with target molecules. Common types of antibody drugs include monoclonal antibodies, artificially synthesized antibody fragments, immunotoxins, antibody-drug conjugates, etc. Antibody drugs have shown remarkable therapeutic effects in the ...
Human brain has approximately 171 billion cells, of which slightly more than half (approximately 86 billion) are nerve cells. These 86 billion nerve cells are a diverse cell population with hundreds of specialized types and functions, but all originate from three neural cell lineages--neurons, oligodendrocytes and astrocytes. All three cell lineages originate from a pool of neural stem and ...
Recombinant protein drugs are protein-based therapeutic drugs which are produced by using DNA recombination technology or other biotechnological methods. These drugs include cytokines, peptide hormones, recombinant enzymes, monoclonal antibodies, and fusion proteins. Compared to traditional low-molecular-weight synthetic drugs, recombinant protein drugs have advantages such as high specificity, ...
Recombinant protein vaccines are vaccines prepared by expressing and purifying the antigen proteins of pathogens in engineered cells (such as bacteria, yeast, mammalian cells, and insect cells) using genetic engineering technology. Compared with other types of vaccines, recombinant protein vaccines are more costly but have significantly better safety profiles. The intrinsic fluorescence of a ...
HCP (Host Cell Proteins) residual detection is a key quality control step in the field of biopharmaceuticals, aiming at ensuring that the proteins of the host cells used for producing therapeutic proteins in any cell-based production system are maintained at acceptable low levels in the final drug product.ImportanceHCPs are impurities during the production process, which may adversely affect the ...
Host cell protein (HCP) residual detection refers to the testing of proteins that may remain in the final product and originate from the production cell line (i.e., the "host") during the biopharmaceutical production process.
