Sets forth the state of the science and technology in plasma
protein production
With contributions from an international team of eighty leading
experts and pioneers in the field, "Production of Plasma Proteins
for Therapeutic Use" presents a comprehensive overview of the
current state of knowledge about the function, use, and production
of blood plasma proteins. In addition to details of the operational
requirements for the production of plasma derivatives, the book
describes the biology, development, research, manufacture, and
clinical indications of essentially all plasma proteins with
established clinical use or therapeutic potential.
"Production of Plasma Proteins for Therapeutic Use" covers the
key aspects of the plasma fractionation industry in five sections:
Section 1: Introduction to Plasma Fractionation initially describes
the history of transfusion and then covers the emergence of plasma
collection and fractionation from its earliest days to the present
time, with the commercial and not-for-profit sectors developing
into a multi-billion dollar industry.Section 2: Plasma Proteins for
Therapeutic Use contains 24 chapters dedicated to specific plasma
proteins, including coagulation factors, albumin, immunoglobulin,
and a comprehensive range of other plasma-derived proteins with
therapeutic indications. Each chapter discusses the physiology,
biochemistry, mechanism of action, and manufacture of each plasma
protein including viral safety issues and clinical uses.Section 3:
Pathogen Safety of Plasma Products examines issues and procedures
for enhancing viral safety and reducing the risk of transmissible
spongiform encephalopathy transmission.Section 4: The
Pharmaceutical Environment Applied to Plasma Fractionation details
the requirements and activities associated with plasma collection,
quality assurance, compliance with regulatory requirements,
provision of medical affairs support, and the manufacture of plasma
products.Section 5: The Market for Plasma Products and the
Economics of Fractionation reviews the commercial environment and
economics of the plasma fractionation industry including future
trends, highlighting regions such as Asia, which have the potential
to exert a major influence on the plasma fractionation industry in
the twenty-first century.
