Abstract:

A method of purifying a recombinant interferon protein involves providing an aqueous mixture of the recombinant protein and contaminating proteins; precipitating the contaminating proteins from the aqueous mixture at a pH in a range of from 0.5 to 6; separating the aqueous mixture from the precipitated contaminating proteins; and, eluting the separated aqueous mixture through a cation exchange column using a mobile phase with a salt or pH gradient, the gradient being from lower salt concentration or pH to higher salt concentration or pH, to produce a recombinant interferon protein fraction separated from other components of the aqueous mixture. The method provides for the recovery of recombinant interferon proteins in better yield and purity.
