Hydrophobic interaction chromatography as polishing step enables obtaining ultra-pure recombinant antibodies

Development of a polishing step using a hydrophobic interaction membrane adsorber with a PER.C6-derived recombinant antibody.

Membrane chromatography has already proven to be a powerful alternative to polishing columns in flow-through mode for contaminant removal. As flow-through utilization has expanded, membrane chromatography applications have included the capturing of large molecules, including proteins such as IgGs. Such bind-and-elute applications imply the demand for high binding capacity and larger membrane su...

Hydrophobic Interaction Chromatography.

Most proteins and large polypeptides have hydrophobic regions at their surface. These hydrophobic "patches" are due to the presence of the side chains of hydrophobic or nonpolar amino acids such as phenylalanine, tryptophan, alanine, and methionine. These surface hydrophobic regions are interspersed between more hydrophilic or polar regions and the number, size, and distribution of them is a sp...

Semi-Automated Hydrophobic Interaction Chromatography Column Scouting Used in the Two-Step Purification of Recombinant Green Fluorescent Protein

BACKGROUND Hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) most commonly requires experimental determination (i.e., scouting) in order to select an optimal chromatographic medium for purifying a given target protein. Neither a two-step purification of untagged green fluorescent protein (GFP) from crude bacterial lysate using sequential HIC and size exclusion chromatography (SEC), nor HIC column sc...
