Single-step purification of immunotoxins containing a high ionic charge ribosome inactivating protein clavin by carboxymethyl high-performance membrane chromatography
F. Dosio et al., Single-step purification of immunotoxins containing a high ionic charge ribosome inactivating protein clavin by carboxymethyl high-performance membrane chromatography, J CHROMAT A, 830(2), 1999, pp. 329-335
High-performance membrane chromatography (HPMC) and HPLC hydroxyapatite chr
omatography were compared for their efficiency in purifying immunotoxins (I
Ts) containing the ribosome-inactivating protein clavin, which is character
ized by a high anionic charge and a low molecular mass. Both methods effici
ently removed unreacted clavin from the conjugate crude mixture, but only t
he cation-exchange HPMC allowed efficient single-step separation of the unr
eacted monoclonal antibody (mAb) from ITs obtained by different coupling pr
ocedures. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
