Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a method of purifying an interleukin-15 / Fc fusion protein from a composition comprising a) applying the composition to an affinity chromatography column and eluting the first IL-15 / Fc elution from the column and b) applying the eluate from step a) to an ion-exchange chromatography column and eluting a second IL-15 / Fc eluate from the column; also to purified interleukin-15 / Fc fusion protein and comprising Compositions of such fusion proteins, especially pharmaceutical compositions.
