Journal ArticleDOI
Aqueous two-phase systems: A viable platform in the manufacturing of biopharmaceuticals.
TL;DR: This review evaluates several alternatives to the currently established platforms for the downstream processing biopharmaceuticals, with main focus on aqueous two-phase extraction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Affinity partitioning of human antibodies in aqueous two-phase systems
P.A.J. Rosa,Ana Azevedo,I.F. Ferreira,J. de Vries,R. Korporaal,H. J. Verhoef,T.J. Visser,Maria Raquel Aires-Barros +7 more
TL;DR: The partitioning of human immunoglobulin in a polymer-polymer and polymer-salt aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) in the presence of several functionalised polyethylene glycols (PEGs) was studied and a 60-fold increase in selectivity was observed when compared to the non-functionalised systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Affinity-enhanced purification of human antibodies by aqueous two-phase extraction
Ana Azevedo,P.A.J. Rosa,I.F. Ferreira,Angela Oliveira Pisco,J. de Vries,R. Korporaal,T.J. Visser,Maria Raquel Aires-Barros +7 more
TL;DR: The partition of human antibodies in polyethylene glycol (PEG)/dextran aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) was investigated using charged, hydrophobic and affinity ligands, either in the form of free ligands or as phase forming components.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrated process for the purification of antibodies combining aqueous two-phase extraction, hydrophobic interaction chromatography and size-exclusion chromatography.
TL;DR: A process incorporating aqueous two-phase extraction, hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) and size-exclusion chromatography for the purification of human immunoglobulin G (IgG) from a Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell supernatant is evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Downstream processing of antibodies: single-stage versus multi-stage aqueous two-phase extraction.
P.A.J. Rosa,Ana Azevedo,I.F. Ferreira,Sven Sommerfeld,Werner Bäcker,Maria Raquel Aires-Barros +5 more
TL;DR: A predicted optimised scheme of a counter-current multi-stage aqueous two-phase extraction of human immunoglobulin G (IgG) to the PEG-rich phase was described and the corresponding liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) data determined.
