  • Patent number: 9144755
    Abstract: This invention relates to methods of using weak partitioning chromatography for the purification of a product from a load fluid containing one or more impurities. Further, the invention relates to methods of weak partitioning chromatography defined by operating conditions which cause a medium to bind least 1 mg of product per mL of medium, or alternatively, defined by a partition coefficient of at least 0.1.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 28, 2011
    Date of Patent: September 29, 2015
    Assignee: Wyeth LLC
    Inventors: Paul R. Brown, Jonathan Lee Coffman, Ranganathan Godavarti, Timothy Iskra, Brian D. Kelley, Suresh Vunnum, Shujun Sun, Tianning Yu, James Edward Booth, Mary Beth Switzer
  • Publication number: 20120149878
    Abstract: Methods of reducing high molecular weight species (HMW) formation in a sample containing a protein purified using ion exchange (IEX) chromatography are disclosed, as are a number of related methods, e.g., methods of reducing on-column denaturation of a protein in a protein sample purified using an ion exchange (IEX) column or resin. The methods share characteristics of including arginine, glycine and/or histidine in the buffers used during the ion exchange (IEX) chromatography.

  • Patent number: 7820796
    Abstract: Methods are provided for purification of Factor VIII polypeptides by affinity chromatography and ion exchange chromatography, in which the eluate from the affinity column is diluted with a solution comprising higher salt concentration, or lower non-polar agent concentration than that of the elution solution, prior to passing the diluted solution through the ion exchange column. The affinity matrix may comprise a monoclonal antibody or a peptide ligand. The methods result in improved purification without significant yield loss.
