A method of purifying an antibody composition comprises application of anion exchange chromatography late in the purification process. An ultrafiltration/diafiltration-purified antibody composition is subjected to anion exchange chromatography (AEX) to form a pharmaceutically-pure antibody composition.

A preparation useful for, and a method for the prophylactic treatment of women post-childbirth in order to avoid immunization and antibody production, which could induce NAIT and fetal/neonatal bleeding in subsequent pregnancies comprising administering a preparation containing antibodies to HPA 1a within 72 hours after delivery in the first non-compatible pregnancy.

The present invention is based on the discovery of polyclonal IgG's ability to promote Schwann cell maturation, differentiation, and myelin production. Methods for treating non-idiopathic, demyelinating peripheral neuropathies in mammals, where the neuropathy is not immune-mediated or infection-mediated, through the administration of polyclonal IgG are provided. Types of demyelinating peripheral neuropathies treatable with the present invention include peripheral nerve trauma and toxin-induced peripheral neuropathies. Alternatively, a composition of polyclonal IgGs can be applied directly to a peripheral nerve cell to induce maturation, differentiation into a myelinating state, and myelin expression or promote cell survival.

Provided are: a polymeric IgA-type recombinant antibody; a medicine containing this polymeric IgA-type recombinant antibody as an active ingredient; a method for producing this polymeric IgA type antibody, the method including the step of coexpressing an IgA-type antibody heavy-chain protein, an antibody light-chain protein, an antibody J-chain protein, and a secretory component protein within a single cell; and a method for improving the antigen-binding activity or neutralizing activity of this antibody, the method including the step of making an antibody into a polymeric IgA-type.

The present invention is based on the identification of novel biomarkers predictive of responsiveness to a combination of anti-immune checkpoint and anti-angiogenesis therapies.
