Host Cell Protein Antibody Generation
INQUIRYCreative BioMart provides customized services for the generation of specific host cell protein antibodies to meet the specific needs of our customers in kinase/phosphatase biology research and biopharmaceuticals. As a leading biotechnology company with many years of experience in antibody production, we can offer comprehensive services from antigen preparation to antibody analysis.
Background
Host cell proteins (HCPs) are a heterogeneous, complex group of either secreted proteins or intracellular proteins produced by the host cells during the production of recombinant therapeutic proteins. While a majority of produced HCPs are removed from the final product during the purification process, any residual HCP, even at low levels, have the potential to compromise the safety and efficacy of biopharmaceuticals. To meet clinical applications, regulations require reduction of HCPs to the lowest levels possible. Therefore, the detection and elimination of HCPs during the purification of biotherapeutics is very important and necessary.
With the rapid growth of biologics production, the requirements for identification and evaluation of residual HCPs are expanding. However, the removal of HCPs is one of the biggest challenges in biopharmaceutical production. The amount and composition of residual HCP are unique to their respective host, which makes the quantification and characterization of HCPs more difficult. In order to detect the presence of residual HCPs in final biopharmaceutical products, custom reagents with maximum coverage and sensitivity against HCPs are required to be developed. Anti-HCP antibodies are valuable and the most commonly used tools to detect and assess HCPs. Evaluation and validation of anti-HCP antibodies is a crucial step for effective monitoring residual HCPs to demonstrate product purity in process development and quality control.
