TinaKid

TINAKID (filgrastim) is a 175 amino acid human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) manufactured by recombinant DNA technology. TINAKID is produced by Escherichia coli (E coli) bacteria into which has been inserted the human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor gene. TINAKID has a molecular weight of 18‚800 daltons. The protein has an amino acid sequence that is identical to the natural sequence predicted from human DNA sequence analysis‚ except for the addition of an N-terminal methionine necessary for expression in E coli. Because TINAKID is produced in E coli‚ the product is non-glycosylated and thus differs from G-CSF isolated from a human cell. TINAKID injection is a sterile‚ clear‚ colorless‚ preservative-free liquid containing filgrastim at a specific activity of 1.0 ± 0.6 x 10 8 U/mg (as measured by a cell mitogenesis assay). The product is available in prefilled syringes. The single-use prefilled syringes contain either 150mcg/0.25 mL.
