Bioassay Survey 2006–2007 Cell-Based Bioassays in the Biopharmaceutical Industry

Bioassays are required for a variety of purposes in the development and production of biopharmaceuticals including drug candidate selection, product releases, product stability assessment, and comparability to support proposed process changes. However, because of their complexity and susceptibility to many variables, bioassays often prove problematic and difficult to develop. Timely development of suitable assay systems represents a major investment on the part of the biopharmaceutical industry but late development often results in even more costly clinical holds. Recent and ongoing advances in biology and technology provide the possibility of new types of assay systems and readouts. Some offer significant logistical and scientific advantages so that, in addition to being investigated for new products, they are increasingly being considered as replacements for some existing bioassays.
