Summary Table of Contents Author Biography

This book presents clinical, technical, and commercial information for the plasma fractionation industry. The book starts with a history of the industry that is followed by detailed chapters on all products covering biology, clinical use, manufacturing processes, and possible future improvements. In addition, there are chapters dealing with viral and prion issues and the operational areas including: manufacturing, regulatory, quality, medical information, and commercial evaluation. A final chapter provides a strategic overview and examines comm... MOREercial, structural, and political opportunities and challenges that confront the industry now and in the future. With contributions from the major manufacturers of plasma proteins, the book is a comprehensive compilation on plasma protein production from the leading experts in the field.

A comprehensive compilation on plasma protein production from the leading experts in the field, Production of Plasma Proteins for Therapeutic Use presents manufacturing, testing methods, and regulatory issues for plasma-derived therapeutics, a global US$10 billion industry.

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.
