  • the integrated cell number (ICN) was generated and plotted against protein results to give a curve of which the slope gives the pcd (27.316) for the 14 day run.
  • This lot was harvested on day 14, at a viability of 50.2% and a titer of 1.240 g/L.
  • the batch was transferred to downstream and purified per the downstream batch processing record.
  • the harvested material from the 200 L batch was purified as outlined below resulting in 211 g (at 5 mg/mL) in a final volume of 42 L.
  • the final bulk drug substance met the specifications previously approved for this batch. All concentrations were determined by absorbance unless otherwise stated.
  • the harvest material (189 L) was filtered through a Cuno 60M02 Maximizer filter (2 ⁇ 16 ft 2 ) at a volume/area of 5.9 L/ft 2 at an initial flow rate of 3 L/min and through a 0.22 ⁇ m 10′′ Millipore Opticap filter.
  • the filter housing was blown down with compressed nitrogen to maximize product recovery.
  • SP-Sepharose FF SP-Sepharose FF (GE Healthcare) was used for the capture of the protein from the clarified media.
  • the clarified media was diluted to reduce the conductivity prior to capture on to the column. The conditions of this run are shown below along with the analysis of the various fractions.
  • the clarified media was processed as two sub batches.
  • the two SP-Sepharose sub lots were individual subjected to viral inactivation using 11% (w/v) Triton X-100 diluted to a concentration of 1%.
  • the volumes were incubated at room temperature, with gentle mixing, for 60-90 minutes prior to CHT chromatography. Subsequent processing of the viral inactivated material occurred in the ISO 7 suite.
  • CHT Type I BioRad was used to further purify DCP from residual CHO protein in the SP-Sepharose pools as well as to remove the Triton from the inactivation step. The conditions of this run are shown below along with the analysis of the various fractions.
  • the SP-Sepharose pools were processed as two sub-batches as described above.
  • the two CHT pools (47.8 L) were combined and diluted with an equal volume of water giving a total volume of 95.6 L. This was concentrated ⁇ 2 fold to ⁇ 45 L and approximately ⁇ 6.57 mg/mL, using a 0.6 m 2 Prep/Scale TFF cartridge (Millipore), 10KMWCO. The re-circulation flow rate was 5 L/min and a back pressure of approximately 20 psi was maintained.
  • the concentrate was then continuously diafiltered against 7.9 volumes of 25 mM Tris-HCl pH7.5. (55.5 L) and the permeate conductivity at the end of the buffer exchange was confirmed to be at ⁇ 5 mS/cm (4.40 mS/cm).
  • the filter was washed and this and the concentrate were combined and 0.21 ⁇ m filtered prior to storage at 2-8° C.
  • the Mustang Q (Pall) step was carried out in flow through mode, with any bound material being eluted with a sodium chloride strip.
  • the Buffer exchanged pool was loaded directly onto the conditioned Mustang Q membrane.
  • the Mustang Q pool was viral filtered using a Virosart filter.
  • Viral Filtrate (48.0 L) was concentrated buffer exchanged, using 2 ⁇ 0.6 m 2 Prep/Scale TFF cartridge (Millipore), 10KMWCO.
  • the re-circulation flow rate was 5 L/min and a feed pressure of 20 psi was maintained.
