Contrairement aux médicaments pharmaceutiques, les médicaments biologiques sont dérivés de l'activité métabolique d'organismes vivants. Leur structure est plus complexe et leur contenu tend à varier davantage que les médicaments synthétisés par voie chimique. Les produits biologiques sont fabriqués à partir d'animaux ou de microorganismes ou en utilisant des animaux ou des microorganismes. En règle générale, les médicaments biologiques sont labiles et sensibles aux variations pouvant survenir lors des procédés de fabrication. 3, record 4, French, - m%C3%A9dicament%20biologique

Because contamination of a widely distributed food product could affect large numbers of persons, intensive surveillance is maintained for botulism cases in the United States, and every case is treated as a public health emergency. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC) is the only source of therapeutic antitoxin, which is stocked in locations around the country for rapid release. CDC maintains a 24-hour clinical consultation and emergency antitoxin release service, and state health departments conduct epidemiologic investigations of suspected cases. 1, record 7, English, - therapeutic%20antitoxin

The potential therapeutic applications of encapsulated cell technology are enormous... It appears likely that over the end of the decade clinical trials of encapsulated cells to treat many diseases will become a reality. The Food and Drug Administration has already authorized studies to evaluate the safety and biological activity of several types of systems. A number of issues will have to be addressed, including the sourcing of raw materials, the design and building of manufacturing facilities, the scale-up and optimization process, storage and distribution of the product, and quality control. 1, record 8, English, - encapsulated%20cell%20technology
