Havana, Jun 6 (Prensa Latina) Cuba has registered the first monoclonal antibody obtained from transgenic plants to purify a human vaccination, Doctor Carlos Borroto, deputy director of the Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (CIGB), said.
The expert noted the antibody will be used in the purification process of the active pharmaceutical ingredient of the vaccine against Hepatitis B (Heberbiovac-HB).
The obtaining of that genetically modified substance from tobacco plants, gives more advantages than the traditional production method from the mouse antivaccinia ascitic fluid as the security and production increase.
The Cuban-made antibody, registered on the island by the Center for State Control of Medication Quality (CECMED), part of the Public Health Ministry, was also given the green light by the National Center for Biological Security of the Science, Technology and Environment Ministry.
CECMED´s approval certifies that both the monoclonal antibody and the new process to produce it follow nationally and internationally accepted quality standards for the pharmaceutical industry.
