20110184154 | CELL BROTH CLARIFICATION AND HOST CELL PROTEIN REMOVAL - The present invention relates to a method for clarification of, and removal of host cell proteins from, a cell broth consisting essentially of viable cells, a culture medium and a secreted desired biological substance having an overall positive charge in the cell broth by contacting the cell broth with a particulate anion exchanger, allowing an adequate incubation time to result in formation of a cell pellet and a supernatant layer, separating the resulting cell pellet from the supernatant layer. The present invention further relates to a method for the recovery of a secreted desired biological substance from the cell broth by extracting the secreted desired biological substance from the supernatant layer. | 07-28-2011 |
