NCIt definition : Biotechnology-derived pharmaceutical agents made from living organisms or their products. Includes recombinant proteins, monoclonal antibodies, and nucleic acids.;

Alternative definition : CDISC: A product of biological origin applicable to the prevention, treatment, or cure of a disease or condition, for example: virus, therapeutic serum, toxin, antitoxin, vaccine, blood, blood component or derivative, allergenic product, or analogous product. (FDA 21 CFR 600.3); NICHD: A class of pharmaceutical agents made from living organisms or their products that includes recombinant proteins, antibodies, and nucleic acids.; NCI-GLOSS: A substance that is made from a living organism or its products and is used in the prevention, diagnosis, or treatment of cancer and other diseases. Biological agents include antibodies, interleukins, and vaccines.; BRIDG 3.0.3: A substance made from living organisms or things they produce. EXAMPLE(S): virus, therapeutic serum, toxin, antitoxin, vaccine, blood, blood component or derivative, allergenic product, analogous product; CDISC-GLOSS: A product of biological origin applicable to the prevention, treatment, or cure of a disease or condition. Such products may include virus, therapeutic serum, toxin, antitoxin, vaccine, blood, blood component or derivative, allergenic product, protein, or analogous product. NOTE: Biological products may be produced through biotechnology in a living system, such as a microorganism, plant cell, or animal cell. Biological products are generally large, complex molecules and are often more difficult to characterize than small molecule drugs.
