How to increase unstable protein expression in E. coli

Recombinant protein expression and purification for therapeutic development or for in vitro studies can sometimes be a real challenge, because it requires huge investments in both time and cost in order to obtain high yields. The objective of this article is to give you a simple guide to easily establish optimal conditions for recombinant protein expression and production in E. Coli, which is the most widely used protein production system, of problematic unstable proteins of interest...

Characterization and Validation for Biologics

Monoclonal antibodies and next-generation therapeutics need a more complex manufacturing process than a simple enzyme. For those molecules you need to assure their quality attributes and safety profile. In this article, we are going to explain how this validation process is done.    Understanding Process Risks  Even during the early drug discovery process, there are valuable opportunities to simplify the path to commercialization.  At this stage, multiple candidate molecules may be screene...

CMC Strategy for mRNA Manufacturing 

There is no question that mRNA mannufacturing is not easy. Besides testing their safety and efficacy, biopharmaceutical companies must also design a protocol for scaling and manufacturing the drug for regulatory approval and commercial use. This creates an immense pressure to expeditiously develop streamlined chemistry, manufacturing and control (CMC) strategies.  That is why in this article we will explain what a CMC strategy is and the challenges in the mRNA manufacturing.   What is CMC Deve...

Plasmid DNA Production for Cell and Gene Therapy – Q&A

In cell and gene therapy manufacturing, high-quality plasmid DNA is a key component. The demand of high-quality plasmid DNA has increased and this has led to the need to optimize the manufacturing and the quality required for use in the manufacture of therapeutics. However, the plasmid DNA (pDNA) manufacturing faces several challenges like: Its large size. The shear sensitivity. The high viscosity. The similarities between the pDNA and the impurities present during manufacturing. This makes impo...

Manufacturing Strategies for mRNA Vaccines and Therapeutics

The swift delivery of the world’s first COVID-19 vaccine put a big spotlight on the promise of mRNA technology. mRNA technology uses non-viral systems and offers a great deal of versatility. Administration of an mRNA into the cytosol of a cell can induce the production of a target protein which can function as an antigen to trigger an immune response for vaccination purposes, replace a defective protein or activate an anti-tumor response. In this article, we will discuss the mRNA manufacturing...

Consider cGMP to Minimize the Risks and Accelerate Your Development Milestones

Current good manufacturing practices (cGMP) are central to drug manufacturing, helping to produce chemicals and other raw materials in accordance with specific controls and quality systems. The development of pharma and biopharma products requires materials as well as the expertise on how to use them. Despite what cGMP stand for in terms of drug quality and consistency, studies indicate that only half of biopharmaceutical developers use cGMP chemicals in early-stage clinical trials. In this arti...

Accelerating mAb Development

Monoclonal antibody biotherapeutics account for roughly one-fifth of FDA new drug approvals every year, with cancer treatments accounting for the majority of them. Beside the full-length monoclonal antibodies, researchers are also looking at next-generation antibody products, including antibody drug conjugates (ADCs), antibody fragments, antibody-like proteins, engineered antibodies and others. Moreover, there is also a marked focus on the biosimilar market, which is currently worth roughly $4.3...
