INSULIN MANUFACTURING PROCESS

INSULIN PRODUCTION

UPSTREAM

1) Obtaining of human insulin gene

2) Insertion of cDNA of both the chains into plasmid

3) Transfection (Recombinant plasmids enter the bacteria in a process known as transfection)

4) Media and equipment preparation

PRODUCTION

  • Fermentation section
  • Reaction section
  • CNBr cleavage
  • Sulfitolsis and refolding
  • Enzymatic conversion

DOWNSTREAM PROCESS

Purification by various methods

  • RP-HPLC
  • Chromatography
  • Centrifugation

INSULIN

Mass balance

Insulin is a hormone made by the pancreas

that allows your body to use sugar (glucose) from carbohydrates in the food that you eat for energy or to store glucose for future use. Insulin helps keeps your blood sugar level from getting too high (hyperglycemia) or too low (hypoglycemia).

The cells in your body need sugar for energy. However, sugar cannot go into most of your cells directly. After you eat food and your blood sugar level rises, cells in your pancreas (known as beta cells) are signaled to release insulin into your bloodstream. Insulin then attaches to and signals cells to absorb sugar from the bloodstream. Insulin is often described as a “key,” which unlocks the cell to allow sugar to enter the cell and be used for energy.

HUMAN INSULIN

is

produced from Proinsulin

MANUFACTURING PROCESS

Production of pro insulin takes place in E.coli,

which then further isolated from the cell

Step 1

We transformed E. coli cells, These cells are used to produce the

Trp-LE'-MET-proinsulin precursor of insulin, which is retained in the cellular biomass.

In Bioreactor (Fermentation reaction)

Glucose+Ammonia+Air +Broth +Biomass is added to a bioreacter where fermentation takes place and 30g/litre of E.coli is produced of which 20% is the inclusion body of the total dry cell mass.
