Viral vector production processes and methods of purifying a viral vector from a host cell are provided herein.

Viral vector production processes and methods of purifying a viral vector from a host cell are provided herein.

Provided is a separatome-based recombinant peptide, polypeptide, and protein expression and purification platform based on the juxtaposition of the binding properties of host cell genomic peptides, polypeptides, and proteins with the characteristics and location of the corresponding genes on the host cell chromosome, such as that of E. coli, yeast, Bacillus subtilis or other prokaryotes, insect cells, mammalian cells, etc. The separatome-based protein expression and purification platform quantitatively describes and identifies priority deletions, modifications, or inhibitions of certain gene products to increase chromatographic separation efficiency, defined as an increase in column capacity, column selectivity, or both. Moreover, the separatome-based protein expression and purification platform provides a computerized knowledge tool that, given separatome data and a target recombinant peptide, polypeptide, or protein, intuitively suggests strategies leading to efficient product purification. The separatome-based protein expression and purification platform is an efficient bioseparation system that intertwines host cell expression systems and chromatography.

The present invention refers to new species of an ion exchange adsorber which is suitable for the separation of host cell proteins (HCPs), antibody fragments and low molecular weight substances from solutions containing antibodies. The invention especially refers to a process for purifying biological samples by separating biomolecules of interest and impurities, comprising steps of contacting a sample with said chromatography media consisting of fibers, said fibers having imparted thereon functionality enabling ion exchange chromatography and/or hydrophobic interaction.

Provided herein are methods of producing an adeno-associated virus (AAV) product and methods of purifying adeno-associated virus. AAV is loaded onto an affinity resin, wash steps are undertaken at room temperature, and AAV is eluted from the affinity resin at a lower temperature. Various buffers are disclosed for use in the wash steps and elution.

Siderocalin-metal chelator combinations that bind metallic radioisotopes used in nuclear medicine with high affinity are described. The high affinity siderocalin-metal chelator combinations include a number of chelator backbone arrangements with functional groups that coordinate with metals. The siderocalin-metal chelator combinations can be used to deliver radionuclides for imaging and therapeutic purposes.

Adsorptive media for chromatography, particularly ion-exchange chromatography, derived from a shaped fiber. In certain embodiments, the functionalized shaped fiber presents a fibrillated or ridged structure which greatly increases the surface area of the fibers when compared to ordinary fibers. Also disclosed herein is a method to add surface pendant functional groups that provides cation-exchange or anion-exchange functionality to the high surface area fibers. This pendant functionality is useful for the ion-exchange chromatographic purification of biomolecules, such as monoclonal antibodies (mAbs).

The invention relates to the use of a citrate solution for affinity-chromatographic removal of C-reactive protein (CRP) from biological fluids, wherein the CRP is affinity-chromatographically removed using (Ca.sup.2+-dependent) binding of CRP to a column material functionalized with ω-phosphonooxyalkyl ammonium groups and/or with ω-ammoniumalkoxy-hydroxy-phosphoryloxy groups.

The present invention relates to methods for controlling chromatographic processes in real-time via mass measurement utilizing a variable pathlength spectrophotometer.
