  • Purification of non-glycosylated polypeptides
    Patent number: 9481706
    Abstract: The current invention reports a method for the purification of a not-glycosylated, heterologous polypeptide, which has been recombinantly produced in a prokaryotic cell, wherein the method comprises three chromatography steps of which the first chromatography step selected from i) hydrophobic charge induction chromatography, or ii) hydrophobic interaction chromatography, or iii) affinity chromatography, or iv) ion exchange chromatography, the second chromatography step is selected from i) anion exchange chromatography, or ii) cation exchange chromatography, or iii) hydroxylapatite chromatography, or iv) hydrophobic interaction chromatography, and the a third chromatography step is selected from i) hydrophobic charge induction chromatography, or ii) anion exchange chromatography, or iii) cation exchange chromatography, or iv) hydrophobic interaction chromatography, whereby the first chromatography step is an affinity chromatography in case of polypeptides capable of interacting with metal ligands, the second c

  • Hydrophobic interaction chromatography method
    Patent number: 8796419
    Abstract: Herein is reported a method for purifying a polypeptide comprising a histidine-tag comprising the steps of i) applying a solution comprising the polypeptide with a histidine-tag to a hydrophobic interaction chromatography material, and ii) recovering the polypeptide comprising a histidine-tag with a solution comprising imidazole or an imidazole-derivative and thereby purifying the polypeptide comprising a histidine-tag, wherein the solution comprising the polypeptide applied to the hydrophobic interaction chromatography material is free of imidazole or an imidazole-derivative and the polypeptide adsorbed to the hydrophobic interaction chromatography material is recovered with a solution comprising imidazole or an imidazole-derivative.
