Virus reduction during the copper chelate affinity chromatography stag
e used during the purification of a new high-purity factor IX (BPLs 9M
C) has been investigated. Virus reduction for the enveloped virus Sind
bis was 6.5 log, a value which included approximately 2 log of inactiv
ation due to the use of an acidic wash buffer (pH 4.4) during chromato
graphy. In the case of the non-enveloped hepatitis-A-like poliovirus,
which is acid-resistant, the virus reduction value was 4.0 log and was
exclusively due to physical virus removal during the chromatographic
process.
