Instructions
Recombinant human albumin is the world's first registered human albumin drug obtained by the recombinant DNA technology using Pichia Pastoris cells.
Human albumin is the most abundant protein component in human plasma, accounting for 60% of total plasma protein. The main functions of albumin are transport, maintaining constant colloid osmotic pressure and providing cells with amino acids. Albumin binds and dissolves various compounds, such as bilirubin, calcium and fatty acids.
Structural and functional properties of the recombinant albumin are identical to natural human albumin isolated from blood plasma and have the same biological activity. The production of recombinant human albumin is free from the disadvantages characteristic of natural albumin obtained by fractionation of donor blood plasma, namely, there is no risk of contamination with infectious agents such as hepatitis viruses, human immunodeficiency viruses, etc., and no possibility of additional contaminations such as concomitant blood plasma proteins (fractions of α-, β- and γ-globulins). The production of recombinant albumin does not depend on the number of donors and allows the drug to be produced on a large scale. In terms of immunogenicity, recombinant human albumin has shown a low probability of producing antibodies to it.
Albumin is able to quickly restore and maintain circulating blood volume, which is vital for patients suffering from acute blood loss due to injury or surgery. Albumin also stabilizes Colloid Osmotic Pressure: It helps prevent edema and ensures effective perfusion of important organs, maintaining adequate arterial pressure and cardiac function. In addition, albumin can serve as a carrier for various drugs, ensuring their transportation and distribution to tissues and organs.
