  • Patent number: 11332514
    Abstract: Herein is reported a method for purifying a polypeptide comprising the steps of i) applying a solution comprising the polypeptide to an ion exchange chromatography material, and ii) recovering the polypeptide with a solution comprising a denaturant and thereby purifying the polypeptide, whereby the ion exchange chromatography material comprises a matrix of cross-linked poly (styrene-divinylbenzene) to which ionic ligands have been attached, and wherein the solution comprising the polypeptide applied to the ion exchange chromatography material is free of the denaturant and the polypeptide adsorbed to the ion exchange chromatography material is recovered with a solution comprising a denaturant at a constant conductivity.

  • 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.

  • Patent number: 10087237
    Abstract: Herein is reported a method for producing an antibody preparation comprising the steps of a) applying a buffered solution comprising different isoforms of an antibody to a cation exchange chromatography material, b) applying a first solution with a first conductivity to the cation exchange chromatography material, whereby the antibody isoforms remain bound to the cation exchange chromatography material, and c) applying a second solution with a second conductivity to the cation exchange chromatography material and thereby obtaining the antibody preparation, whereby the conductivity of the second solution exceeds the conductivity of the first solution by not more than 10%.
