  • PURIFICATION OF RECOMBINANTLY PRODUCED INTERFERON
    Publication number: 20110257368
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for separating desired interferon isoforms from undesired interferon isoforms that involves subjecting the isoforms to anion exchange column chromatography and a biphasic elution procedure. A strong elution solution is used in the first elution phase to facilitate elution of the desired isoform from the column and a weak elution solution is used in the second phase to suppress elution of the desired isoforms.

  • Method for purifying adenoviruses
    Patent number: 7393631
    Abstract: Methods for purifying adenoviruses from a contaminated sample using a hydroxyapatite medium are provided. Sodium chloride concentrations present in buffers used throughout the method are at least 150 mM to prevent the adenovirus from irreversibly binding to the hydroxyapatite. Levels of contaminants and empty adenovirus capsids from samples purified by conventional purification techniques are further reduced to provide a highly pure adenovirus preparation.
