Cell Culture and Upstream Processing

Upstream processing refers to theproduction ofproteinsby cells genetically engineered to contain the human gene which will express the protein of interest. The demand for large quantities ofspecific proteinsis increasing the pressure to boost cell culture productivity, and optimising bioreactor output has become a primary concern for most pharmaceutical companies. Each chapter in Cell Culture and Upstream Processing is taken from apresentation at thehighly acclaimed IBC conferencesand describeshowto improve yield and optimise the cell culture production process for biopharmaceuticals, by focusing on safety, quality, economics and operability and productivity issues.Butler, Michael is the author of 'Cell Culture and Upstream Processing ', published 2007 under ISBN 9780415399692 and ISBN 0415399696.
