2007; Li and d’Anjou, 2009), considerable efforts have been put into glycoengineering of yeast strains, that is, using genetic engineering to replace key enzymes of the yeast glycosylation machinery with those of the human machinery. In particular, the yeast Pichia pastoris has been extensively engineered to yield strains capable of replicating the most essential glycosylation pathways found in humans. , 2010a). 26 Pharmaceutical Formulation Development of Peptides and Proteins Insulin is an example of a (nonglycosylated) recombinant protein produced by secretion from S.
The coagulation factors FVIIa and FVIII and a number of antibodies are examples of marketed recombinant proteins produced in mammalian cell cultures. While the coagulation factors are very potent proteins required in only relatively small amounts, therapeutic antibodies need to be produced in substantial amounts; alternatives to mammalian cell culture production are therefore sought after by the growing antibody market. However, since the precise glycosylation pattern of antibodies is crucial to their immunological function, a switch of production system is by no means trivial.
Most vectors are based on a lytic insect virus belonging to the baculovirus family; the foreign cDNA is inserted in the viral genome without interfering with the lytic life cycle of the virus. Protein production thus occurs during a lytic infection of insect cells with recombinant viruses, and usually less than a week is needed from infection to maximal product yield (Griffiths and Page, 1997). The fact that baculoviruses are noninfectious to vertebrates and their promoters inactive in mammalian cells gives insect systems a potential advantage over other systems for expressing oncogenes or other genes that are harmful to mammals.
