A second international co-operative investigation into thioacetazone side-effects. 1. The influence of a vitamin and antihistamine supplement.
As part of a large-scale international, co-operative investigation into the side-effects produced by thioacetazone employed in the treatment of tuberculosis, an evaluation has been made of a supplement incorporating vitamins and an antihistamine as a prophylactic.Over a 12-week period of treatment, the additive supplement failed to reduce the over-all frequency of side-effects or the frequency of side-effects leading to a major departure from prescribed treatment. There was also no evidence that the more serious side-effects, particularly rashes, jaundice and agranulocytosis, were reduced by the additives, although the occurrence of vomiting, which was however infrequent, was reduced.In view of this lack of appreciable benefit, as well as the higher cost and impaired keeping properties of tablets containing thioacetazone plus isoniazid when the supplement is added, the use of the supplement as a prophylactic cannot be recommended.

In pursuit of the optimal fed-batch process for monoclonal antibody production.
Fed-batch culture currently represents the most attractive choice for large scale production for monoclonal antibodies (MAbs), due to its operational simplicity, reliability, and flexibility for implementation in multipurpose facilities. Development of highly productive cell lines, maximization of cell culture longevity, and maintenance of high specific antibody secretion rates through genetic engineering techniques, nutrition supplementation, waste product minimization, and control of environmental conditions are important for the design of high-yield fed-batch processes. Initially simple supplementation protocols have evolved into sophisticated serum-free multi-nutrient feeds that result in MAb titers on the order of 1-2 g/L. Limited research has been published to date on the effect of various culture parameters on potentially important quality issues, such as MAb glycosylation and stability. Although most fed-batch protocols to date have relied on relatively simple control schemes, increasingly sophisticated algorithms must be applied in order to take full advantage of the potentially additive effects of manipulating nutrient and environmental parameters to maximize fed-batch process productivity.
