  • Publication number: 20230103511
    Abstract: The invention is a method of preventing the generation of pink color during antibody manufacturing by either preventing the reduction of antibodies during manufacturing and harvest or inhibiting the conversion of cyanocobalamin (CN-Cbl) to hydroxocobalamin (HO-Cbl) during manufacturing and harvest. Replacement of white light in the cell culture media preparation and storage areas with red light inhibits the conversion of CN-Cbl to HO-Cbl. Addition of peroxides to the clarified bulk at harvest inhibits reduction of the antibody disulfide bonds.
