Monoclonal Antibodies – Ingenious Biomolecules for a Wide Range of Applications

Since the commercialization of the first therapeutic monoclonal antibody product in 1986, this class of biopharmaceuticals has developed significantly. Today, monoclonal antibodies account for a major share of biopharmaceutical products, and for more than 20% of all therapeutic candidates authorized
by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Best Practice for mAb production process

ZETA’s comprehensive abilities were demonstrated in a complex project in Belgium. In early 2019, an international biopharmaceutical company set itself the ambitious goal of establishing a production facility for the manufacture of various monoclonal antibodies through CHO cell cultures.

ZETA mastered the challenges posed by the large scale of the project and the high complexity of the various technical specifications and delivered skids for seven downstream process steps.
