Abstract

Improved methods for direct purification of product immunoglobulins or their derivatives from large volumes of mammalian cell culture medium include directly subjecting the cell culture medium to cation exchange treatment, so as to adsorb the product but not the contaminants. The eluted product is then recycled, or is applied to anion exchange, for further purification, and optionally subjected to additional steps. The product may be obtained in a form suitable for clinical applications, if desired.
