Mm. Diogo et al., Scale-up of hydrophobic interaction chromatography for the purification ofa DNA vaccine against rabies, BIOTECH LET, 22(17), 2000, pp. 1397-1400
The purification of a DNA vaccine against rabies by hydrophobic interaction
chromatography (HIC) using a Sepharose gel derivatised with 1,4-butanediol
diglycidyl ether was scaled up 60 times. The purification profile was not
affected by increased loadings (up to 15 mg DNA) and a product with a consi
stent quality was obtained. Fourteen mg of plasmid with an HPLC purity of 1
00% were obtained in one run, corresponding to a 95% yield.
