摘要:
Methods and apparatus for purification of biological molecules using combinations of tangential flow filtration subunits and adsorption sub-units in a single apparatus where the subunits may be operated independently or in series and where the apparatus and methods are suitable for use in a wide range of formats distinct from conditions required for chromatographic processes such as conducting process steps using adsorption subunits for purification of a biological molecule in a contaminated sample without prior buffer equilibration.

A method of reducing the aggregate content in a preparation having a target protein includes contacting the preparation with an aryl anion to form a mixture and contacting the mixture with at least one electropositive solid to remove excess aryl anion.
摘要:
Methods for reduction of aggregate levels in antibody and other protein preparations comprising the steps of treatment with an organic multivalent cation (e.g., ethacridine, chlorhexidine, or polyethylenimine) and treatment with a composition having a combination of surfaces bearing electronegative chemical moieties and surfaces bearing electropositive chemical moieties.

A method of isolating exosomes includes conducting at least one purification step in the presence of an organic zwitterion having a molecular weight of less than about 350 Daltons, a buffering pK of a negatively charged portion of the organic zwitterion is at least one full pH unit below an operating pH at which the at least one purification step is conducted, and a buffering pK of the positively charged portion of the organic zwitterion is at least one full pH unit above the operating pH.
摘要:
A method of purifying a sample that includes a desired virus includes the steps of (i) providing a packed chromatographic column having negatively charged porous particles, (ii) equilibrating the column to the conditions to which the desired virus in the sample is to elute, (iii) contacting the sample with the packed chromatographic column such that the sample volume applied to the packed chromatographic column is less than or equal to the interparticle space of the negatively charged porous particles within the packed chromatographic column, (iv) eluting the desired virus from the packed chromatographic column, where the desired virus is in a purer state and in the conditions to which the packed chromatographic column was equilibrated.
摘要:
This application describes compositions, kits, and methods for removing contaminants from a protein preparation, for example a cell culture harvest comprising a recombinant protein. The methods described herein can enhance the performance of a later applied chromatographic purification step. The method generally involves contacting a protein preparation comprising a desired protein with a combination of allantoin, a cationic polymer, and a fatty acid, thereby causing the formation of solids and removal of the solids using a suitable process. Further treatment by contacting the treated sample with a chemically reactive surface further enhances results achieved by the first purification step.
摘要:
A method of purifying a desired protein from a preparation includes providing the preparation in a form having less than about 5% of the chromatin residing in the original production medium, contacting the preparation with a nonionic organic polymer in an amount sufficient to cause the desired protein to precipitate or adsorb on a nonionic hydrophilic surface, and adjusting a salt concentration before or during the contacting step, the adjusting step providing a sufficient salt concentration to produce a conductivity greater than physiological conductivity.
摘要:
A method of reducing aggregate and product-contaminant complex content in a protein preparation including a desired protein includes (i) contacting the protein preparation with at least one solid surface comprising at least one surface-bound ligand capable of binding a metal, the surface-bound ligand being capable of binding a metal is initially substantially devoid of a metal, the operating conditions are selected to substantially prevent the binding of the desired protein to the at least one solid surface and (ii) separating the protein preparation from the surface-bound ligand, such that when more than one surface-bound ligand is present, each surface-bound ligand is independently either of the same net charge or charge neutral.
