โฆ Synopsis
Recent studies have shown the versatility and utility of the Pichia pastoris expression system. Improvements in strains have boosted the yield of proteins and peptides to the commercially feasible range. The Pichia pastoris expression system will soon be used to manufacture proteins for human clinical trials.

## Abstract Growth of the antibody market has fueled the development of alternative expression systems such as glycoengineered yeast. Although intact antibody expression levels in excess of 1โgโL^โ1^ have been demonstrated in glycoengineered yeast, this is still significantly below the titers repor
The Pichia pastoris system has the potential for very high level production of foreign proteins. This, together with the recent availability of this system in kit form, has changed Pichia from being an expression system with only specialized biotechnological applications to one that is widely used f
