BioWhittaker FDA warning over Abbokinase contamination risk
BioWhittaker Inc of Walkeraville, a Cambrex unit, failed to adequately test kidney cells from stillborn South American babies used to manufacture Abbokinase. FDA findings include undeclared cell donations, possible hepatitis B or mycoplasma contamination, and incomplete testing for hepatitis C. Abbott Laboratories faced distribution suspensions, with doctors urged to consider alternatives. Abbokinase remains widely used for clots and dialysis-related tubes.
