Biological therapeutics, also referred to as Biologicals, are those class of medicines which are grown and then purified from living organisms such as cell cultures of bacteria, yeast, plant or animal cells. Biologicals are a diverse group of medicines which includes vaccines, growth factors, immune modulators, monoclonal antibodies, insulin and blood derivatives. What distinguishes biologicals from other medicines is that these are proteins purified from living culture systems or from blood, whereas other medicines are considered as ‘small molecules’ and are either made synthetically (e.g. chemicals) or purified from plants.
