Infos

This book gives pharmaceutical scientists an up-to-date resource on protein aggregation and its consequences, and available methods to control or slow down the aggregation process. While significant progress has been made in the past decade, the current understanding of protein aggregation and its consequences is still immature. Prevention or even moderate inhibition of protein aggregation has been mostly experimental. The knowledge in this book can greatly help pharmaceutical scientists in the development of therapeutic proteins, and also instigate further scientific investigations in this area. This book fills such a need by providing an overview on the causes, consequences, characterization, and control of the aggregation of therapeutic proteins.

Rezensionen

"Among their topics are fundamental structures and behaviors of
proteins; protein aggregation pathways, kinetics, and
thermodynamics; the identification and impact of aggregate-prone
regions in proteins and therapeutic monoclonal antibodies; external
factors affecting protein aggregation; experimental detection and
characterization of protein aggregates; approaches to controlling
it during bulk production; effects of formulation interfaces, and
drug product manufacturing operations on aggregation and particle
formation; approaches to managing it in product development;
aggregation and immunogenicity of therapeutic proteins; and a
regulatory perspective on aggregates as a product quality
attribute." (SciTech Book News, December 2010)
