Their large and complex protein structure, post-translational modifications, elaborate manufacturing/production process and risk for immunogenicity adds to the uniqueness of a biologic product. Patent expiration of innovator biologics has led to the development of biosimilars; biologics similar /comparable to the reference product in terms of quality, safety and efficacy.
