Pilot-scale process for magnetic bead purification of antibodies directly from non-clarified CHO cell culture.

ABSTRACT: High capacity magnetic protein A agarose beads, LOABeads PrtA, were used in the development of a new process for affinity purification of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) from non-clarified CHO cell broth using a pilot-scale magnetic separator. The LOABeads had a maximum binding capacity of 65 mg/mL and an adsorption capacity of 25-42 mg IgG/mL bead in suspension for an IgG concentration of 1 to 8 g/L. Pilot-scale separation was initially tested in a mAb capture step from 26 L clarified harvest. Small-scale experiments showed that similar mAb adsorptions were obtained in cell broth containing 40 × 10⁶ cells/mL as in clarified supernatant. Two pilot-scale purification runs were then performed on non-clarified cell broth from fed-batch runs of 16 L, where a rapid mAb adsorption ≥96.6%
