1. Insulin Made by pancreatic beta cells Enables cells to take up glucose from the
bloodstream to use in production of ATP Insufficient insulin causes diabetes (insulin dependent
diabetes mellitus – IDDM)Must inject insulin to avoid physiological complicationsCells cannot take up glucoseInsufficient ATP is madeGlucose spills into urine (excreted by kidneys; kidney tries
to dilute glucose by excreting large amounts of water)

• Before recombinant insulin was available, insulin was obtained from cows’ or pigs’ pancreases – Cow (Bovine) = 3 amino acid differences– Pig (Porcine) = 1 amino acid difference – Amino acid differences can stimulate allergic
responses– Therefore human insulin is preferred (51 amino
acid)Humulin – Eli lilly

2. Human Growth Hormone (HGH)
• HGH promotes overall body growth by increasing: amino acid uptake by cells, protein synthesis and fat utilization for energy
• Dwarfism caused by insufficient production of HGH by the pituitary gland
• HGH can treat dwarfism to help undersized children reach their normal height and size
![Page 11: Pharmaceutical products of biotechnology](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061615/587dbc7d1a28ab1b498b50b9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Old method:– Purification of HGH from cadaver pituitary glands
• 8 cadavers/year for 8 – 10 years per patient
• New method– Gene production for HGH synthesis
• Protropin Genentech• Humatrope Eli Lilly
![Page 12: Pharmaceutical products of biotechnology](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061615/587dbc7d1a28ab1b498b50b9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Production of recombinant HGH• Isolating and constructing hGH cDNAs
• Constructing expression cassette with hGH cDNAs inserts
• Cultivating the recombinant clones in small scale flask/bioreactor
• Producing the hGH in pilot scale bioreactors • Developing large scale purification
procedure and process chromatography optimization (Affinity chromatography)
![Page 13: Pharmaceutical products of biotechnology](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061615/587dbc7d1a28ab1b498b50b9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Production of hGH• Purification of rhGH from Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell culture supernatant by large-scale electrophoresis.
• Production of rhGH in using E. coli as an alternative for using CHO cells, with the advantage that rhGH is secreted into protein-free production media, facilitating a more simple purification and avoiding resolubilization of inclusion bodies and protein refolding proteins

3.Erythropoietin (EPO)• Human Erythropoietin is produced in kidney
• A glycoprotein, acts on the bone marrow to increase the production of red and white blood cells. Stimuli such as bleeding or moving to high altitudes (where oxygen is scarce) trigger the release of erythropoietin
• 165 amino acids in human
• widely used in AIDS for development of immunity
![Page 16: Pharmaceutical products of biotechnology](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061615/587dbc7d1a28ab1b498b50b9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Production of recombinant Erythropoietin
• Isolating and constructing human EPO cDNAs
• Subjecting the cDNA to PCR using primers based on the published sequence
• The PCR products will be cloned into vector for the purpose of propagation and subsequently engineered into appropriate expression vectors
• Culture- production-purification
![Page 17: Pharmaceutical products of biotechnology](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061615/587dbc7d1a28ab1b498b50b9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• Epoetin alfa- treatment of anemia due to chronic renal failure.
• “Epogen” – 1989Recombinant hormone used to alleviate severe anemia that is a complication of many kidney diseases
• “Neupogen”– Stimulates stem cells to
produce neutrophils (and other leukocytes)
![Page 18: Pharmaceutical products of biotechnology](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061615/587dbc7d1a28ab1b498b50b9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
4. Factor VIII
• Hemophilia A – Abnormal blood clotting in absence of Factor VIII– Before rDNA, Factor VIII was obtained from blood
• 8000 pints needed per patient per year• Risk of transmitting HIV before wide-spread screening
for HIV– In the 1980s – thousands of hemophiliacs were infected with
HIV developed AIDS
• Factor VIII genetic characteristics– Codes for 2332 amino acids
![Page 19: Pharmaceutical products of biotechnology](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061615/587dbc7d1a28ab1b498b50b9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• cDNA obtained from gene sequence and cloned into Hamster Kidney Cells Factor VIII protein– E. coli NOT USED because protein needs extensive
glycosylation (25 sites where CHO-groups are added to protein in ER and Golgi)
• Factor VIII products approved by FDA– Recombinate – Genetics Institute– Kogenate – Miles Laboratories
![Page 20: Pharmaceutical products of biotechnology](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061615/587dbc7d1a28ab1b498b50b9/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
5. Tissue Plasminogen Activator (TPA)
• TPA is used to treat coronary thrombosis (thrombolytic agent)
• Protease that attaches to blood clots and induces other blood components to break down clot
• Plasminogen Plasmin
Fibrin ---------- Degradation of fibrin
• Streptokinase once used for this purpose– Derived from Streptococcal bacteria– Must be delivered to blood vessel directly– Urokinase = alternative, but has risk of hemorrhage
![Page 21: Pharmaceutical products of biotechnology](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061615/587dbc7d1a28ab1b498b50b9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• TPA does not compromise blood clotting elsewhere therefore reduces risk of internal hemorrhaging
• Transported via circulation to affected area• Produced in mammalian cell culture (not
E.coli)
![Page 22: Pharmaceutical products of biotechnology](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061615/587dbc7d1a28ab1b498b50b9/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
TPA By Genentech
• Genentech has cloned human t-PA for use in treating unwanted or life threatening blood clots
• Activase (Alterplase recombinant) is the trade name of Genentech’s t-PA
• Activase is useful in treating heart attacks and strokes when administered within 5 hours of thrombosis formation or embolism lodging in the heart or brain
• FDA approves “Activase” – Genetech – 1987– Clot-Dissolving Agent– Fewer side effects than streptokinase and urokinase
![Page 23: Pharmaceutical products of biotechnology](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061615/587dbc7d1a28ab1b498b50b9/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
6. Interferon
• and are induced by “dsRNA” in cells infected by viruses
• Bind to neighboring cells and send a warning signal of viruses nearby (species-specific receptors)
• Neighboring cells protect themselves by producing proteins that inhibit viral replication
• IFNs also activate Natural Killer (NK) cells
![Page 24: Pharmaceutical products of biotechnology](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061615/587dbc7d1a28ab1b498b50b9/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• Before rDNA 90,000 pints of blood needed to purify 1 g IFNs
• 1980 – recombinant -IFN – Mammalian cell culture (glycosylated)
• Decrease symptoms of hepatitis• Decrease spread of herpes zoster (shingles)• Shrink certain tumors
“Intron” by Swiss Biotech Firm against a particular form of leukemia and for genital
warts -IFN 1b licensed in 1993 for Multiple Sclerosis

8. Monoclonal Antibodies
• Specific antibodies produced in vitro which can bind to:– Cytokines (anticytokine Abs)– Specific subsets of cells
• Tumor cells– MoAb against cell-surface tumor Ags can be used for
diagnosis and immunotherapy– MoAb can be conjugated to toxins or radioactive isotypes to
kill tumor cells = Immunotoxins
• Attacking T cells in grafts
![Page 26: Pharmaceutical products of biotechnology](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061615/587dbc7d1a28ab1b498b50b9/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
• MoAbs can be “humanized” to eliminate hypersensitivity reactions (serum sickness)– Replace “Fc” portion of MoAb with human “Fc”
portion– Retain “Fab” – which contains the antigen-binding
site– rDNA techniques using cDNA can be employed to
cut and splice appropriate regions, followed by transfection into myloma

9. DNA Vaccines
Numerous animal models are under investigation for the use of DNA vaccines in humansMalaria, AIDS, Herpes, Tuberculosis, Rotavirus (childhood
diarrhea) Just the DNA coding for a specific component of a
disease-causing organism in injected into the body • Saline solution/hypodermic needle• DNA-coated gold beads propelled into the body using
gene guns
![Page 31: Pharmaceutical products of biotechnology](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061615/587dbc7d1a28ab1b498b50b9/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
DNA vaccination provides long-lived immune response (boosters not need to maintain immunity)
Stable (dried or in solution) As microbial genomes of pathogens are
sequenced, the sequence information can be used for vaccine design
