    Study Notes

    Products and Indications

    • Factor VIII: used to treat Hemophilia A
    • Tissue plasminogen activator: used to treat Myocardial infarction
    • Erythropoietin: used to treat Anemia
    • Kymriah: used to treat Acute lymphoblastic leukemia and large B cell lymphoma
    • GLP-1: used to treat Type 2 diabetes
    • Insulin: used to treat diabetes

    Discovery of Insulin

    • Insulin was discovered by Frederick Banting in 1921 at the University of Toronto
    • Banting and Best treated diabetes using pancreatic extracts from dogs
    • Human clinical trials using insulin to treat diabetes were conducted in 1922 with remarkable success
    • Frederick Banting and J.J.R.Macleod were awarded the Nobel Prize in 1923 for their work on insulin

    Production of Insulin

    • Insulin can be sourced from pigs and cows
    • Recombinant DNA technology was developed in 1973 by Herbert Boyer and Stanley Cohen
    • This technology allowed for the creation of recombinant human insulin
    • Recombinant human insulin is produced by inserting the human insulin gene into E. coli bacteria, which multiply and produce large quantities of human insulin in a bioreactor

    Biosafety Importance

    • Eye drops contaminated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa caused 80 infections, 4 deaths, and 14 cases of loss of vision
    • Viral contamination in biopharmaceutical industries can have significant consequences, including product impact, facility shutdowns, and disruption of medicine supply to patients
    • Typical hazards in biologics include virus contamination, product impact, and facility shutdowns

    Biosafety Considerations

    • Approved cell lines for pharma (biologics) include E. coli, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Pichia Pastoris, CHO, BHK, Murine myeloma, Hybridomas, HEK293, and HT-1080
    • Raw materials for cell culture media include water, low molecular weight nutrients, non-nutritive components, and high molecular weight factors
    • In-process control testing for virus assays includes in vitro viral assay, in vivo viral assay, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Mouse Antibody Production (MAP), and qPCR
