Patents Assigned to Cephalon, Inc.
  • Patent number: 11426706
    Abstract: A wash buffer comprising a surfactant for use in affinity and cation exchange chromatography to purify proteins of interest from protein aggregates and to remove and/or inactivate viruses. When used during affinity or cation exchange chromatography for the purification of a protein of interest, such as an antibody, the wash buffer significantly improves viral clearance from the preparation, while also reducing the levels of host cell proteins and protein aggregates. Following affinity or cation exchange chromatography with the wash buffer, the protein of interest may be further purified using other chromatography and filtration operations.
