Purification of Monoclonal Antibodies Using Kaneka KanCapA

Industrial-scale production of pure monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) customers require an overall highly efficient affinity resin with a high binding capacity, high alkaline stability, good elution profile, low nonspecific binding, and large-scale column operation. Kaneka has developed a novel protein A ligand and immobilized it to highly cross-linked cellulose beads to totally satisfy all these requirements. Here, we demonstrate the performances of the Kaneka KanCapA using MAbs. Mild pH Elution and High-Binding Capacity: The elution profile of a protein A column…

KANEKA KanCapAâ„¢

Protein A chromatography is still the preferred capture step in monoclonal antibody (MAb) production because of its high selectivity and robustness, although cation-exchange (CEX) or multimode chromatography techniques are claimed as alternatives. KANEKA KanCapA increases the value of protein A affinity chromatography for MAb production. Kaneka’s unique combination of a proprietary-designed alkaline stable protein A ligand and a highly cross-linked cellulose base matrix meets customer requirements for improved performance, high binding capacity, alkaline and chemical stability for cleaning in place…
