Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCELL DETACHMENT BY PROLYL-SPECIFIC ENDOPEPTIDASE FROM WOLFIPORIA COCOSNicole Mika, Katharina Cierpka, Michaela C. Lange et al.As requirements for Advanced Therapy Medicinal Product (ATMP) production differ from other production processes (e.g., therapeutic protein production), cell detachment is often a crucial step for the process success. In most cases, cell detachment is done enzymatically. Although many peptidases are established in cell culture in R&D, e.g., Trypsin as gold standard, many of them seem to be unsuitable in … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 8 Feb 2014 · 8,157 accessesView PDF Cite
