Core Tip	The Maillard reaction occurs spontaneously in host cells and causes covalent modifications, proteolysis and crosslinking of therapeutic proteins. These are gross structural changes, which upon administration may provoke in patients classical type innate and adaptive immune responses. The consequences of the Maillard reaction, however, reach far beyond. Specific and non-specific cellular receptors for the advanced products of the Maillard reaction may further enhance the immune response and elicit inflammation. All together the Maillard reaction actions are expected to result in drug neutralization and side effects in treated patients such as inflammatory and hypersensitivity reactions.
