For 'acidic' (pI < 7.0) or 'neutral' antibodies (pI: 7.0-8.0), it is challenging to operate traditional anion exchange chromatography in a product flow-through mode to achieve adequate clearance of HCP, DNA, leached ProA, HMW and viruses while maintaining high process yield. In this study, the authors developed a scalable mAb polishing step using a new salt tolerant chromatographic resin. Utilizing a combination of high-throughput condition screening in 96-well plates and optimization in smallscale column models, a polishing step was developed that demonstrated high process yield and efficient clearance of impurities for multiple acidic or neutral antibodies. Pilot scale production demonstrated scalability of the step. This polishing step can be easily integrated into most current Protein A/AEX two-column antibody purification platforms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
