Purification of IgG1 (Anti-h TNF alpha IgG1)
This is an example that an IgG1 monoclonal antibody that was purified from cell culture medium using BioPro IEX SmartSep S30. In general, the purification of antibody starts with clarification. After clarification, the sample is subjected to initial purification (capture step) using affinity chromatography (rProtein A), followed by ion exchange chromatography. In the capture step, rProtein A derived from the affinity media contaminated the eluate, which was then separated and removed during ion exchange chromatography.
