This could produce pharmacological and therapeutic proteins to hopefully treat human diseases.

Other therapeutic proteins are under development, including non-monoclonal antibodies.

But the efforts also draw upon modern techniques that enable laboratory workers to duplicate the therapeutic proteins made by the body.

Through biotechnological advancements, we are able to produce complex therapeutic proteins from plant cells.

Background Numerous diseases require treatment by systemic delivery of a therapeutic protein.

ActoBiotics represent a novel concept for oral administration of therapeutic proteins.

Clostridium could, therefore, be used to deliver therapeutic proteins to tumours.

Because drotrecogin-alpha is a therapeutic protein, there exists a potential for immunogenicity.

They are also used by the biotechnology industry to produce therapeutic proteins and viruses for gene therapy.

Clostridium therefore have the potential to deliver therapeutic proteins to tumors.
