Endotoxins are remnants of bacterial cell walls that may contaminate drug products and cause an immunogenic response. They are often referred to as “pyrogens” due to their fever-inducing effects. Endotoxins may be found in drug products either due to contamination from host cells used to produce a drug product in a bacterial expression system or due to adventitious bacterial contamination in non-microbial products. Thus, endotoxin clearance is a requirement of downstream processing of biologics, especially those derived from microbial expression…
