What is Biotechnology?
While the science as we know it is new, the basic principles have been around for a very long time.
Listen to the audio and then select Next to continue.
Biotechnology is the culmination of over 8,000 years of human experience using living organisms and the process of fermentation to make use products for mankind.
SME: Please confirm that the phrase “use products” is correct in the screen text and VO.
Modern Biotechnology
Modern biotechnology was first identified over 90 years ago. Karl Ereky was a Hungarian architect/engineer who envisioned a biochemical age similar to the stone age and iron ages.
Listen to the audio and then select Next to continue.
Biotechnology is “all lines of work by which products are produced from raw materials with the aid of living things.”
-- Karl Ereky,1919

DNA, Proteins, and Genes
Select Next to continue.
DNA Proteins GenesDNA is genetic material that is contained in every living thing. All cells are programmed by DNA, which is basic genetic material.
Proteins are the building blocks of DNA and the major structural and regulatory molecules essential for life. Proteins are made up of 20 amino acids and each has its own chemical properties.
A gene contains the entire set of blueprints, specification, and procedures necessary to carry out life.
In addition to knowing the parts and functions of a cell, we also need to review three additional elements: DNA, proteins, and genes. We will address each topic in greater depth in this lesson.
• DNA is the basic genetic material.
• DNA consists of:o Sugaro Phosphateo Four nitrogen bases

The DNA alphabet has four letters:
A, G, C, T
Information

into three-letter
“words,” or
codons

20 amino acids
The DNA Code
Select each item and then select Next to continue.
A string of bases in DNA may look something like this:
AGCTTCCGATCGGTA
However, our DNA language is read in three-letter combinations. So the above bases would be read like this:
AGC, TTC, CGA, TCG, GTA
Each of the three letter words above is a codon that defines an amino acid:
Serine, Phenylalanine, Arginine, Serine, Valine
• DNA is universal code.
• Three-letter codon is the code for an amino acid. Same triplet of letters is always the code for the same amino acid.
• Amino acids used to build proteins, which are the building blocks of DNA.
• There are 20 amino acids, each with its own chemical properties.

Roles of Proteins
Proteins have four major roles. Select the role below to learn more about what proteins do.

Provide structure
Provide transport
Act as catalysts
Control cellular processes
• The value of human proteins in treating disease has long been known.
o For example, some proteins are useful therapeutically and diseases caused by a protein deficiency can be treated with the human protein itself.
• Only tiny quantities can be extracted from human tissue.
• The goal of biotechnology is to produce sufficient amounts of human protein of high quality.
Therapeutic Applications of Proteins
Listen to the audio and then select Next to continue.
• The chemical bonds that hold a protein together are weak and can easily be broken or altered by environmental conditions such as temperature, pH, and salt concentration.
• If a protein becomes denatured (loses its proper structure), then the protein product is ruined!

Today
While every cell in an individual organism has the same DNA units, different segments of DNA coding tell individual cells how to differentiate (what to do or what to produce, such as proteins, enzymes, etc.).
Coding the human genome was so important because scientists now know what each gene does, making genetic engineering possible.

What are Biologics?
Listen to the audio and then select Next to continue.
Biologics are biological therapeutic products that generally encompass any protein, virus, vaccine, blood product, or gene transfer product.
We are going to focus on human therapeutics.
Therapeutic proteins are proteins that are produced in biological organisms or in recombinant DNA technology.
These proteins include: • Monoclonal antibodies.• Cytokines.• Growth factors.
Biologics vs. Small Molecule Drugs
It is important that we understand the difference between biologics and pharma-derived products. Most of you will have never taken a biologic drug, so your frame of reference will be tablets and pills.
Select each type of product below to learn more about how they are different.
Select each item then select Next to continue.
Biologics Small Molecule Drugs
• Very fragile molecules that easily degrade in the digestive system
• Injected into bloodstream• Designed to interact with
molecules outside the cell• Typically more difficult and costly
to manufacture
• Compromise most traditional pharmaceutical drugs
• Developed via chemical synthesis• Taken orally• Absorbed through the intestine walls
into the bloodstream.• Usually designed to block targets

Choosing the Right Material
Choosing the right starting material is vital to success. In a perfect world, the starting material should fit the following criteria, though not all production cell lines display all of these characteristics:
Select each item and then select Next to continue.
Able to make the product in large quantities
Stable in culture
Grow fast
Grow on inexpensive nutrients
Examples of Choosing the Right Material
Companies spend significant amounts of R&D money to make sure they select the right starting material. The right starting material is dependent upon the product being manufactured.
For example:
Select Next to continue.
Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells grow well in culture and are used to manufacture many products such as human interferon (a protein).
E. coli bacteria are given the gene to make human insulin so that now diabetics no longer rely on insulin purified from animal carcasses.

Culture: Processing the Cell Line
Cell Line Selection Cell Bank Development Scale-up
To promote the expected level of growth, cell lines need to: • Be easily reproducible.• Grow fast.• Use inexpensive medium.
This does not mean that every cell line meets these criteria. But the majority of cell lines that we see used in the industry:
• Produce high quality product.• Grow in inexpensive medium.

Testing• The quality and viability of the cell line must be confirmed through testing. • Cell lines will be categorized as “master” and “working.”
o Using the original master cell line, subsequent working cell lines will be used to continue the manufacturing operations for years.
o The working cell banks are genetic equals of the master.
Storage• The storage and security of these cell banks is important. Millions of dollars have been
spent to genetically develop the master cell line. • Protection of this investment is not only good business, it is also a regulatory
requirement.

Carbon-containing compounds provide the chemical energy cells need to function.
Glucose is often the primary energy source. Starches or other sugars are also used.
Cells need a nitrogen source to make amino acids, nucleic acids, and other molecules. Sources are usually NH3 ( as a gas) and NH4 (solid form as a salt).
Cells get oxygen and hydrogen from air and water and also from carbon and nitrogen sources.
These are usually supplied from inorganic salts.
Cells also require sodium, potassium, and magnesium salts. Other metals such as zinc, iron, and manganese will also show as trace elements.
Sometimes cells can’t make all the biomolecules they need from raw materials. Additives such as amino acids, vitamins, antibiotics, and anti-fungal agents may be necessary.

There are numerous steps, extensive equipment needs, and possibly large volumes of materials and utilities that will be required just to provide the cells with the right diet.
