MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES: THE FUTURE OF MEDICINE


Monoclonal Antibody Development is the recent topic of debate in the medical scenario. Monoclonal Antibodies, often referred to as mAbs, are a proven effective therapeutic modality in human malignancy. Minute structures of Mabs doesn’t allow it to be seen by the naked eye. They are laboratory-produced antibodies derived from the millions of antibodies which the body makes every day to fight foreign invaders. Since their inception, Mabs have radically transformed understandings about the pathways of disease.


Significance of Monoclonal Antibodies

Fights Cancer Cells  
Mabs specifically target cancer cells while retaining healthy ones. This medical method means fewer side effects than conventional chemotherapy or radiotherapy. In addition to this, Mabs provide an important tool to harness the body’s own immune system t fight cancer, called Immunotherapy.

Treatment of chronic inflammatory and Autoimmune Diseases

Mabs have not only been successful towards cancer cells, but also on chronic diseases. What’s most striking is that they have moved the treatment revolution from merely relieving symptoms to targeting & disrupting their cause. Some of the successful treatments of diseases like Arthritis, Psoriasis and Ankylosing Spondylitis have been carried out through Mabs.

Treatment from Other Types of Diseases

Besides treatments from cancer, Mabs are being used to treat many other types of diseases, including allergic conditions like asthma, age-related macular degeneration, multiple sclerosis and osteoporosis. The technique of Mabs is under investigation for the treatment of central nervous disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease and other metabolic diseases. In recent times, Mabs was explored as a means to combat Ebola, the virus diseased that ravaged West Africa in 2014.

Revolutionary Changes in Diagnostics

Therapeutics is one of the many areas where Mabs have had a profound impact on medicine. One of the other area where Mabs can be handy is diagnostics. In the field of diagnostics, they have opened up the means to detect numerous diseases, which was previously impossible to identify until the situation reached a perilous or advanced stage.  
Mabs have also been at the forefront of public health efforts, helping to screen blood for infectious diseases such as hepatitis B and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Governments also rely on them to detect the spread of diseases released by biological weapons such as anthrax and smallpox. They are also intrinsic components in over-the-counter diagnostic tests for ovulation, pregnancy, menopause, and many other conditions, and on the front-line in spotting a heart attac
Despite the significance of Mabs in everyday healthcare, their existence is comparatively unknown to the general public. The story of their development hasn’t spread vastly.

Pharmaceutical Procedure for Analytical Process Development and Validation

Image
Producing biosimilars is quite challenging as drug manufacturers face multiple bottlenecks while ensuring product quality and patient safety. Analytical method development and validation provides the data needed to manufacture safe and valuable drugs. The validation and growth of analytical methods is key to drug development. The biopharma industry has managed to reduce risk by utilising analytical platform technologies for drug conjugates, monoclonal products, and new molecules. In the pharma industry, validation and analytical characterization are mandatory for quality assurance and quality control. Several drug authorities emphasize on the validation of the processes implemented in the industry. Validation is a systematic and formal way to show the appropriateness of the assay method to offer useful data to ensure the process provides consistent and satisfactory results.  The procedure for analytical method development is as follows: 1 . The objective of analyt...

The biopharmaceutical industry is complex and dynamic and each year it continues to grow at the rate of 14% to 15%. This year the industry is demanding new and enhanced technologies to lower costs, boost efficiencies, especially in developing economies. Enabling this upward trend is the gradual introduction of innovations in manufacturing productivity. Growth in products in the area of cellular/gene therapies will be so rapid that the industry is expecting a falling bioprocessing capacity crunch. One exception to the growth is in the biopharmaceutical sector as very few small CMOs are being founded or coming online recently. Here are some of the key drivers in the field of biopharmaceutical process development:   Biopharma industry and supplier growth continue to remain healthy: The biopharma sector and its suppliers, both services and equipment have grown steadily at close to 12–14% annually in terms of revenue over the past two decades. This year, suppliers ...

What Are the Latest Advances in Cell Line Development Technologies?

Image
In the past few decades, biological therapeutics have performed a significant role in fighting against autoimmune disorders, cancers, and diseases that small molecule drugs have been unsuccessful in alleviating. The fast growth of therapeutic recombinant proteins is mainly because of technological advancement in cell line engineering, clone screening, and expression vector design. The primary goal in recombinant protein development is to produce a stable monoclonal cell line that consistently expresses the given recombinant protein at the desired quality through a cost-effective and efficient manufacturing process. Today  biosimilar development  has moved to a new phase guided by genomic insights and research, together with evolving technologies that are driving cell engineering into an uncharted future. People working in cell line development technology in the biopharma industry must cope with several contradictory priorities. They often must present their co-worker...
