Cuba Approves New Monoclonal Antibody

Havana, May 31 (Prensa Latina) Cuban health authorities approved the use of the first monoclonal antibody obtained from transgenic plants in the country, the Cuban News Agency (ACN) reported on Wednesday.

The Center for State Control of Medication Quality (CECMED), attached to the Ministry of Public Health, gave the green light to the use of the Cuban-made monoclonal antibody, as a reagent in the purification of the active pharmaceutical ingredient of the vaccine against hepatitis B (Heberbiovac-HB).

The antibody, which is produced by the Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology Center (CIGB) in Havana, contributes to reducing the cost of vaccines.

The CECMED certifies that both the monoclonal antibody and the new process to produce it follow nationally- and internationally-accepted quality standards for the pharmaceutical industry.
