  • Publication number: 20240011012
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes improved methods for use in purifying biological products made by host cells. In some embodiments, the improved methods comprise one or more steps of lysing host cells, such as with a detergent, to release the biological product, precipitating host cell DNA, such as with domiphen bromide, and then inhibiting precipitation of residual host cell DNA in a supernatant containing the biological product by adding a salt to a sufficient final concentration. In some embodiments, the biological product is a vaccine, or a viral vector for gene therapy, such as an AAV vector or a lentiviral vector.
