A method for manufacturing a fibrinogen preparation from a fibrinogen containing source derived from blood plasma includes providing a liquid phase containing plasmatic fibrinogen; contacting the liquid phase with a cation exchange chromatography material under conditions resulting in binding of fibrinogen, wherein the liquid phase has a pH in the range of pH 5.6 to pH 7.0 which is near or above the pl of fibrinogen; optionally washing unbound compounds from the cation exchange chromatography material; and eluting the fibrinogen from the cation exchange material. The method is also suitable for reduction of von-Willebrand-factor.

The objective of the present invention is to provide a method of producing each high purity imidazole dipeptide in large quantities on an industrial scale, regardless of the type of animal extract employed. The objective is achieved by a method of producing a purified imidazole dipeptide composition, including the step (1) of subjecting an animal extract treatment solution containing at least two types of imidazole dipeptides to adsorption treatment carried out by bringing the solution into contact with a hydrophobic adsorption resin to adsorb the imidazole dipeptides onto the hydrophobic adsorption resin; and the step (2) of subjecting the hydrophobic adsorption resin adsorbing the imidazole dipeptides to elution treatment using an aqueous solution to mutually separate and collect the imidazole dipeptides to purify an imidazole dipeptide.

The present invention generally pertains to methods of characterizing charge variants of a protein. In particular, the present invention pertains to the use of anion exchange chromatography-mass spectrometry (AEX-MS) methods using a salt-gradient. The present invention is particularly useful for charge variant analysis of IgG4 subclasses.
