PROTEIN FRAGMENTATION CONTROL STRATEGY BY RE-OXIDATION IN DOWNSTREAM CHROMATOGRAPHY
Methods for the production of high purity recombinant protein such as monoclonal antibodies (mAb) using disulfide bond re-oxidation are provided. In particular, the present disclosure provides methods for converting partial molecules (e.g., antibody fragments) to full molecules (e.g., full antibodies) comprising admixing a starting solution comprising the partial molecules with a redox buffer comprising a redox pair which comprises at least one thiol reducing agent (e.g., cysteine) and at least one thiol oxidizing agent (e.g., cystine), wherein the redox buffer re-oxidizes the partial molecules to full molecules. The disclosed methods can be used, e.g., to prevent or mitigate the formation of partial molecules during protein purification, or to reprocess or rescue a solution comprising partial molecules (e.g., a partially degraded pharmaceutical formulation).
HYDROPHOBIC INTERACTION CHROMATOGRAPHY FOR VIRAL CLEARANCE
The present application provides a method for characterizing and/or determining viral clearance capacity of hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) including experimental design for multivariate analysis of viral clearance of HIC. The method provides understanding of the mechanism of the viral clearance using HIC by running a D-Optimal design of experiment including evaluations of multiple factors, such as pH, buffer concentration, column loading concentration, flow rate of column, or hydrophobic strength of the HIC column.
IMMUNOTHERAPEUTIC COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF PRODUCTION FOR CORONAVIRUS
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to compositions and methods for the treatment and/or prevention of pathogenic viral infections, e.g., coronavirus infections. In particular, the present disclosure provides human plasma compositions and immunoglobulin prepared therefrom containing select antibody titers specific for coronavirus (e.g., SARS CoV-2), methods of identifying human donors and donor samples for use in the compositions, methods of manufacturing the compositions, and methods of utilizing the compositions for prophylactic administration and/or therapeutic treatment (e.g., passive immunization or immune-prophylaxis).
