Abstract
We have shown that aqueous arginine solution increases the solubility of proteins in formulation and purification, suppresses aggregation during refolding and storage and improves performance of column chromatography. Acidic arginine solution now finds application for virus inactivation. I will summ...

Although few molecules are available, annual total sales of biotechnology drugs amounted 71 billion $ in 2008) and knew a 17% progression per year. As traditional drugs had their generic, many biotechnology drugs had or will lose their patent and be copied, called "biosimilars" or "follows-on". Acco...

Abstract
The prime difference between generics and biosimilars is that while generics contain the exact active ingredient as in the originator product, biosimilars are only "similar" and not "identical" to the originator biological medicine. This difference appears due to the nature of the biopharmaceutical...
