Abstract: Vaccines and therapeutic proteins, including polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies, must be maximally pure and stable in their most active native form. This is a requirement for their maximal efficacy, specificity and stability as well as for precluding immune responses against erroneous or damaged moieties. Similar considerations hold for proteins used in diagnostics, industry and research. The most frequent source of damage to proteins produced in living cells is the diverse product of oxidative damage. Two main sources of protein oxidation are the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and even more importantly the intrinsic susceptibility of proteins to oxidative damage. Methods for avoiding oxidative protein damage are disclosed, including providing for (i) a decrease in intracellular ROS levels and (ii) an increase in the intrinsic resilience of proteins to oxidative damage.
