Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods that have been developed to control the formation of disulfide bonds between polypeptides of a multimeric protein produced by a bioprocess. Also disclosed are protein solution parameters that allow for controlling the formation of disulfide bonds. In one example, the methods disclosed herein can be used to control the proportion of half antibody molecules in an antibody solution.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process and apparatus for purifying a molecule of interest from a heterogeneous clarified fluid mixture. The apparatus of the invention generally comprises a continuous perfusion fermentation system, a continuous particle removal system integrated with the perfusion fermentation system; and a continuous purification system integrated with the particle removal system, which is maintained under sterile conditions. The process comprises filtering a heterogeneous clarified fluid mixture by continuous ultrafiltration at a specific flow rate below the transition point of the molecule of interest in the pressure-dependent region of the flux versus TMP curve, wherein the specific flow rate is maintained substantially constant throughout the continuous ultrafiltration.
