Abstract: The invention provides methods for isolating proteins in purified form from mixtures by precipitation with citrate. The methods are advantageous in that they effectively separate a protein from lower molecular weight contaminants, including fragments or portions of the protein. Such methods are particularly useful for purifying antibodies from mixtures containing antibody proteolytic fragments and unpaired chains.
