[0002] 1. Field of the Invention
[0003] This invention relates generally to protein purification. In particular, the invention relates to a method for purifying CH2 / CH3 region-containing proteins, such as antibodies and immunoadhesins, by Protein A affinity chromatography.
[0004] 2. Description of Related Art
[0005] The large-scale, economic purification of proteins is increasingly an important problem for the biotechnology industry. Generally, proteins are produced by cell culture, using either mammalian or bacterial cell lines engineered to produce the protein of interest by insertion of a recombinant plasmid containing the gene for that protein. Since the cell lines used are living organisms, they must be fed with a complex growth medium, containi...
