Evaluation of new affinity chromatography resins for polyclonal, oligoclonal and monoclonal antibody pharmaceuticals.
The performance of MabSelect SuRe and IgSelect affinity chromatography resins designed for process-scale purification of antibodies was investigated. Various antibodies (4 human monoclonal, 1 human polyclonal and 1 bovine polyclonal antibody and 1 Fc-fusion protein) were used to evaluate the elution pH and dynamic binding capacity of the resins. The elution pH for each human antibody was similar on MabSelect SuRe and IgSelect (pH 3.5-3.8). No significant differences in dynamic binding capacity were observed among human antibodies on MabSelect SuRe ( approximately 20-40 mg/mL resin) and IgSelect (approximately 10-30 mg/mL resin). The binding capacity order for the human antibodies was the same on MabSelect SuRe and IgSelect. Using a linear pH gradient, both resins were able to partially separate monomeric and aggregated forms of the antibodies. The results indicate that these new affinity resins are powerful tools for the purification of human polyclonal antibodies from transgenic animals and oligoclonal antibodies from CHO cell cultures.
