Abstract
Disclosed is a method for producing seeding microcrystals for the production of human insulin, the microcrystals being free of non-human pancreatic insulin, the method comprising providing an unseeded suspension of human insulin, the suspension being free of non-human pancreatic insulin, and homogenizing the insulin suspension under pressure to result in human insulin microcrystals suitable for use as seeding microcrystals for the production of zinc insulin products. The method of homogenization under pressure may also be used for the production of seeding mnicrocrystals for other peptides and proteins, in particular pharmaceutical peptides or proteins such as insulin, GLP-1, glucagon and growth hormones.
