Mode of Administration

Large

4,000 to > 140,000 Daltons < 500 - 900 Daltons

Complex with potential structural variations

Simple and well defined

Specialized biological process to make similar copy

Predictable chemical process to make identical copy

≥ 250 ≤ 50

Large clinical trials in patients

Usually requires injection or infusion
