Abstract

With the advent of recombinant DNA technology, it is possible to produce biosynthetic human growth hormone (B-hGH). Novo Nordisk A/S has developed a method for manufacturing B-hGH which is identical to the 22K fraction of pituitary human growth hormone (P-hGH), using a nonpathogenic strain of Escherichia coli as host. B-hGH has been investigated extensively in physical, chemical and biological studies and found to be identical to P-hGH. Pharmacological studies have revealed that B-hGH possesses the same pharmacokinetic and short-term metabolic profiles as P-hGH. Long term clinical studies have shown that B-hGH induces a significant increase in height velocity in children with growth hormone deficiency (GHD) and is characterized by a low antigenicity.
