A Technique to Purify Monoclonal Antibodies Produced by Chinese Hamster Ovary Cells

Abstract

Source: Velugula-Yellela, S. R., et al. Purification and Analytics of a Monoclonal Antibody from Chinese Hamster Ovary Cells Using an Automated Microbioreactor System. J. Vis. Exp. (2019).

This video demonstrates an assay for purifying monoclonal antibodies from cell culture fluid harvested from Chinese Hamster Ovarian cells. It employs a porous glass resin with immobilized protein A, which binds to the Fc region of the antibodies in the sample, effectively separating them from contaminants. The use of a low-pH elution buffer weakens the interaction, facilitating the retrieval of purified antibodies.

Protocol

1. Purification of antibody NOTE: The equilibration buffer for the in-house antibody is 25 mM Tris, 100 mM NaCl, pH 7.5. The elution buffer used is 0.1 M acetic acid. The buffers and resin (Protein A) are dependent on the specific antibody purified. Column volume is equivalent to the bed height of the resin. The amount of mobile phase used is determined in terms of column volume. Initializing the purification system Open the software at…
