Aggregation of recombinant therapeutic protein products is a concern due to their potential to induce immune responses. We examined the immunogenicity of protein aggregates in commercial formulations of recombinant human growth hormone produced by freeze-thawing or agitation, two stresses commonly encountered during manufacturing, shipping and handling of therapeutic protein products. In addition, we subjected each preparation to high-pressure treatment to reduce the size and concentration of aggregates present in the samples. Aggregates existing in a commercial formulation, as well as aggregates induced by freeze-thawing and agitation stresses enhanced immunogenicity in one or more mouse models. The use of high-pressure treatment to reduce size and concentrations of aggregates within recombinant human growth hormone formulations reduced their overall immunogenicity in agreement with the "immunon" hypothesis.
