Major kinds of biopharmaceuticals include:

Blood factors (Factor VIII and Factor IX)

Thrombolytic agents (tissue plasminogen activator)

Hormones (insulin, glucagon, growth hormone, gonadotrophins)

Haematopoietic growth factors (Erythropoietin, colony stimulating factors)

Interferons (Interferons-α, -β, -γ)

Interleukin-based products (Interleukin-2)

Vaccines (Hepatitis B surface antigen)

Monoclonal antibodies (Various)

Additional products (tumour necrosis factor, therapeutic enzymes)

Research and development investment in new medicines by the biopharmaceutical industry stood at $65.2 billion in 2008.[11] A few examples of biologics made with recombinant DNA technology include:

USAN/INN Trade name Indication Technology Mechanism of action

abatacept Orencia rheumatoid arthritis immunoglobin CTLA-4 fusion protein T-cell deactivation
