EnbrelŽ represents a milestone of modern therapies just as HumulinŽ, the first therapeutic recombinant protein for human use, approved by the FDA in 1982 and OrthocloneŽ the first monoclonal antibody reaching the market in 1986. These first generation molecules were soon followed by a plethora of recombinant copies of natural human proteins, and in 1998, the first de novo designed fusion protei UR - http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/book/10.1002/9781118354599 ER -
