Abstract

Continuous chromatography is increasingly being used across the biotechnology industry due to its economic advantages. For adoption in commercial manufacturing, also models for virus clearance studies must be available. It is demonstrated how for a virus clearance study for a multispecific antibody, the continuous protein A capture chromatography process, being run on multiple interconnected columns, can be mimicked with only a single column. With this mimicking small-scale model, resources and complexity can be minimized, when conducting virus clearance studies at a contract research organization (CRO) lab. Obtained log reduction values (LRV) for murine leukemia virus (xMuLV) and minute virus of mice (MVM) virus, used as model viruses, are comparable to batch protein A chromatography and results described by other groups. The feasibility of this mimicking small-scale model helps to further reduce barriers to adoption when implementing continuous chromatography.
