  • Publication number: 20220119499
    Abstract: Herein is reported a method for producing a human IgG4 or IgG1 isotype antibody comprising the following steps a) cultivating a cell comprising a nucleic acid encoding a human IgG4 or IgG1 isotype antibody, b) recovering the human IgG4 or IgG1 isotype antibody from the cell or the cultivation medium, c) contacting the human IgG4 or IgG1 isotype antibody with a protein A chromatography material, d) washing the protein A chromatography material with an aqueous solution comprising Histidine and Tris, e) recovering the human IgG4 or IgG1 isotype antibody from the protein A chromatography material and thereby producing the human IgG4 or IgG1 isotype antibody.

  • Publication number: 20210094993
    Abstract: Herein is reported a method for the purification of a protein comprising erythropoietin and a single poly (ethylene glycol) residue from reaction by-products or not reacted starting material by a cation exchange chromatography method. It has been found that by employing a cation exchange SP Sephacryi™ S 500 HR chromatography material conditioned to a conductivity of 21 mS/cm and a linear gradient elution a fusion protein of erythropoietin and a single poly (ethylene glycol) residue can be obtained in a single step with high purity and yield.

  • Publication number: 20190256556
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods of purifying multispecific antibodies. The methods comprise the sequential steps of performing a capture chromatography, a first mixed mode chromatography and a second mixed mode chromatography. In some aspects, the invention provides compositions of multispecific antibodies, which compositions have reduced levels of one or more product-specific impurities and/or process-specific impurities.
