Publication | A comparison of Protein A chromatographic stationary phases: Performance characteristics for monoclonal antibody purification

Liu, Z., Mostafa, S., Shukla, A. A comparison of Protein A chromatographic stationary phases: performance characteristics for monoclonal antibody purification, Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, 62(1), 37-47, 2015.

Abstract
The dominant capture step used during the downstream purification of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) remains Protein A chromatography. With the recent expiry of the Repligen patent on recombinant Protein A, a variety of new Protein A resins have been introduced in the market. Given productivity limitations during downstream processing that have come into sharper focus with the recent increase in cell culture titers for mAbs, the selection of an appropriate Protein A resin has direct implications on the overall process economics of mAb production. The performance of seven different Protein A chromatographic resins was compared with respect to static binding capacity and dynamic binding capacity as a function of flow rate. This data was translated into a comparison of productivity (g mAb purified per unit resin volume per unit time) for the seven stationary phases. Also, elution pH and host cell protein impurity levels after product capture on each of these resins were determined. This article provides an effective methodology and dataset for the selection of the optimal Protein A chromatographic resin.
