Development of an Alternative Monoclonal Antibody Polishing Step using Sartobind STIC Membrane Chromatography
Yun (Kenneth) Kang, Stanley Ng, Julia Lee, Josaih Adaelu, Bo Qi, Dale Ludwig
and Paul Balderes, ImClone System Corporation Eli Lilly and the Company
In many mAb purification platforms, traditional anion exchange column chromatography or, increasingly, anion membrane chromatography is used as a polishing step in a product flow-through mode to bind trace levels of process or product related impurities and assure efficient viral clearance. Anion exchange chromatography is however limited by the requirement for low loading buffer conductivity to efficiently remove impurities, which necessitates buffer exchange or dilution of the protein A column eluate. In this study we developed a mAb polishing step using membrane chromatography. The step can be easily integrated into most mAb purification platforms and may shorten mAb purification processes and accelerate development programs. |
