Detection And Quality Control Of Host Proteins
Host proteins (HCP) form a major part of the process-related impurities in the production of biologics. The amount of residual HCP in a pharmaceutical product is often considered a critical quality attribute (CQA) because of its potential to affect product safety and efficacy.

Definition And Structure Of Antibodies
Antibodies are shaped like the letter 'Y' and their main job is to bind to an invading antigen, but not to kill the antigen - they do not have this function; the binding is to give the antigen a marker to be destroyed. When phagocytes find the marker to destroy, they come forward and swallow the antibody-bound antigen and digest it.

Selfish Bacterial Plasmids
Plasmids are a segment of circular DNA within a bacterium that is not part of the bacterial nuclear genome; they replicate within the cell and enter a daughter cell at random when it divides.

BlueGene Biotech's Research For Cell Biology
1. Three Levels Of Cell Biology
The development of cell biology could be divided into three levels: microscopic, ultrastructural and molecular levels. It studies cell structure and function at these three levels. Cell proliferation, differentiation, metabolism, movement, aging, death, cell signal transduction, cell gene expression and regulation, cell origin and evolution, and other major life processes.
2. The Importance Of Cell Biology
Cell biology makes extensive use of the achievements of adjacent disciplines and draws on the strengths of others in technical methods. Anything that can solve problems will be used. For example, molecular biology is used to study the structure of genes, biochemistry and molecular biology are used to study various nonhistones on chromosomes, and their regulation and control on gene activities, or use immunological methods to study the distribution of various cytoskeleton proteins (tubulin, microfilament and various medium fibrin) in cells and their changes in life activities.
